Survey on Traffic Monitoring System using Image Processing

Growth of total number of vehicles around the world is increase exponentially during past decade. Traffic monitoring is become a big issue in many countries. In India, Many cities having manned traffic monitoring system. A manned traffic monitoring system has certain issues like availability, accuracy of management staff. In this paper, we study different traffic monitoring system. Each system describes a way to handle vehicle traffic on road by minimizing human support. This includes identifying vehicle in traffic; detect traffic congestion on a road, calculating speed of vehicle and avoid accidents on road. This paper study sensor based image processing and vision based image processing techniques. It shows that vision based system gives more accurate data in less cost for traffic management system. Keywords— Traffic monitoring system; Traffic congestion.
