                Highway Monitoring System

I have done a project which will monitor the highways traffic. it’s a pre-programmed system, if we install it on the highway roads, it will detects the number of cars that is passing and we can control the traffic lights and we can give some instructions to the travelers through display, it’s an embedded system that interface the computer vision to real time device like MCU, display and traffic light. We can further improve this project to detect the speed of the vehicle if vehicle exceeds the speed this system can note vehicle number and we can also monitor the toll gate etc.

Here in this project I just use the feature based cascade classifier to detect the vehicles. Haar cascade classifier is best and accurate feature based classifier to detect the particular objects, human beings, face etc.
 in this project i used the recorded video we can use the live stream video also.we need to import the classifier and need to write small logic to draw the shapes on the on the moving object that is recognized by HAAR classifier we can observe how through below image how the classifier is working here i took the rectangular shape around the detected object .

next we need to detect the vehicles and count them that are passing by the road. For that I wrote logic to find center point of the object and I draw a line on two roads so that if the center point of the vehicle passes by the line then count will increase.

Now it’s time to interface it with the MCU and operate the real time objects like traffic lights and display.

traffic lights:
