There is a camera in the system to sense the change in traffic patterns by capturing an image. To calculate the amount of traffic present on road, the image captured is sent to a microprocessor and effectively there is a change in red/green distribution of time at each junction. It is the first kind of system which will work on Indian roads and will function according to the traffic situation in the country which is written by the team in project paper.
