TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The present disclosure relates generally to traffic controlling system. More
particularly, the present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for autonomously controlling traffic at an intersection.
BACKGROUND
[002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the
present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[003] Traffic lights, also known as, stop lights, traffic signals, traffic lamps, traffic
semaphore, traffic control signals, signal lights etc. are signaling apparatuses located at lane
intersections, railway tracks, pedestrian crossings, and other locations for traffic flow control.
The traffic lights includes three colored universal light that is green, yellow and red light, such
as, green light signals for allowing traffic to flow in indicated direction, yellow light warns
traffic to slow down, and red signal indicates for stopping of vehicle. In present scenario,
most of countries in world suffer from transportation system due to traffic congestion in cities
causing serious dilemma for government and public. In view of rapid demand of number of
vehicles and increasing number of road users, partial solutions were offered by constructing ring
roads, bypass roads, building flyovers, creating road, and performing roads rehabilitation.
[004] Traffic light signal control systems configured at intersection of lanes are widely
used to monitor and control flow of vehicles, simultaneously aim to realize transportation routes for smooth flow of traffic. However, synchronization of multiple traffic light apparatuses positioned at proximal intersections with various parameter lead to a complicated problem of timers. Conventional traffic signal system with pre-set timings are unable to handle variable traffic flow, leading to increase in waiting time of road users. Furthermore, mutual synchronization with preset timers between proximally placed traffic light apparatuses does not implement passage of emergency vehicles, inconsistency in traffic flow with time, and the pedestrian crossings in existing traffic light signal control system which may leads to traffic jam
and congestion. A well-established issue in traffic control engineering is to optimize traffic flow through a given lane network with a major component having timing strategy of advanced traffic control management for complex road signalized intersection. Optimizingtiming of the traffic control signals according to observed traffic in the lane network is one of the most powerful and cost-effective means for lowering waiting time of road users.
[005] Prior art technique discloses array of detectors at intersection lanes. The array of
detectors feed information regarding traffic flow to local controllers which compare various
traffic parameters with day timing, office hours, and master controller receives data from the
local controller which samples data and determines cycle length of traffic control signal. The
central controller receives data from the master controller which analyzes the data and cyclically
directs the master controllers to vary timing of the traffic control signal. Above said approach to
control the traffic suffers from some real time serious problems such as, often said traffic control
systems are not aware of traffic that is held in a queue and fails to signal green light according to
real time situation. If traffic vehicle queue fails to clear before end of the green signal, the system
is not aware of this parameter, said system will assume that traffic is flowing smoothly, failing to
actually move a traffic queue in an effective manner through intersection of lanes.
[006] There is therefore, a need in the art to provide a system for controlling traffic at an
intersection that overcome the above-mentioned and other limitations of the existing solutions and utilize techniques, which are robust, accurate, fast, efficient, cost effective and simple.

[0046] FIG. 1 A illustrates a perspective view of a system 100 for controlling traffic at an
intersection in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0047] In an embodiment, a system for controlling traffic at an intersection 100 can include
one or more traffic controlling apparatuses configured at the intersecting lanes coupled with
control lights 102-a, 102-b, 102-c, 102-d (collectively referred to as control lights 102 herein, and
individually referred to as control light 102). The control lights 102 can include red light, yellow
light, and green light configured with a processing unit 112. The processing unit 112can
operatively be coupled with camera 104 and traffic controlling apparatuses to determine density of traffic and based on the determined density of the traffic at intersecting lanes sends signal to the control lights 102. For example, the timer could be increased for the green light of an intersecting lane having high density of the traffic or reduced if the density of traffic is less at a lane.
[0048] In an embodiment, traffic controlling apparatus can include camera 104. The camera 104 can be coupled with the traffic controlling apparatuses in two or more intersecting lane, said camera 104 receive images or video footages of traffic objects in a part of intersecting lanes. Camera 104 can include but not limited to Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) camera 104provides high-resolution, real-time traffic information to convolutional neural network (CNN)for making roads safer, reduce congestion, and improve overall efficiency and performance of thoroughfares.
[0049] In an embodiment, the system lOOcan include convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN scan receive the density of traffic videos having features such as but not limited to boundaries or edges of vehicles, color of roads, and gradient orientation of the intersecting lanes. CNNs can be regularized version of multilayer perceptron, said multilayer perceptrons usually mean fully connected networks, that is, each neuron in one layer is connected to all neurons in next layer. The "fully-connectedness" of these networks makes prone to over fitting data and regularization include adding some form of magnitude measurement of the edges of the vehicles, colour of roads, and gradient orientation of the intersecting lanes to loss function. However, CNNs can take a different approach towards regularization, said CNNs take advantage of hierarchical pattern in data and assemble more complex patterns using smaller and simpler patterns. The CNNs with its reinforcement learning of vehicles, roads, and orientation generates signals to traffic controlling apparatus thereby the traffic controlling apparatuses controls the timers of the control light 102.

The processing unit 112 can be operatively coupled with the camera 104 and the traffic controlling apparatuses, the processing unit 112 configured to extract features from the captured one or more images. The extracted features can pertain to traffic on each of intersecting lanes, determine density of traffic on each of the intersecting lanes by determining number of objects of traffic on each of the intersecting lanes based on features. The processing unit 112 can generate control signal for each
of the traffic controlling apparatuses for controlling time period of operation of the control lights 102 for each of the traffic controlling apparatuses. In an exemplary embodiment, when traffic density of a particular intersecting lane can be more than traffic density of any another intersecting lane, the processing unit 112 generates a signal to green light of traffic controlling apparatus, thereby sends signal of red light to another traffic controlling apparatus. In another embodiment, the system 100 can include relays operatively coupled with the traffic controlling apparatuses enables open circuit and closed circuit to the control lights 102. [0051] In an embodiment, the system 100 can include solar panels 106. The solar panel 106 can include photovoltaic cells which are made of silicon or other semiconductor materials. The solar panels 106 can be configured at the top surface of the system typically 65 x 39 inches in size for controlling traffic at an intersection, said solar panel 106 can provide energy to the battery 108 for uninterrupted operations. In another embodiment, the battery 108 can be configured with the traffic controlling apparatuses can provide power to processing unit 112, cameras 104, and control lights 102 for uninterrupted operations.

The tyres 110 can be coupled at bottom surface of the system 100 for controlling traffic thereby making the system 100 portable.
[0053] FIG. 1 B illustrates a computing unit of a system 100 at an intersection in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0054] In an embodiment, the system 100 can include computing unit 120. The computing unit 120 can include processing unit 112, wireless transmission unit 116, and battery 114. The computing unit 120 can be tampered proof and weather proof such that the system 100 for controlling traffic at an intersection can work without any interruptions of external means. In an embodiment, the wireless transmission signal can be operatively coupled with the traffic controlling apparatuses for sending and receiving the signals to control the timing of the control lights 102.The wireless transmission unit 116 can be configured with the processing unit 112, said wireless transmission unitl 16 transmits and receives the signal to the processing unit 112 for proper working of the system 100 for controlling traffic at an intersection. In an embodiment, the
battery 114 can be configured with the wireless transmission unit 116, processing unit 112 to provide electricity for uninterrupted operations of the said components of the computing unit 120.
[0055] FIG. 2 illustrates exemplary embodiment traffic controlling apparatuses at intersection lanes in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. [0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the system 100 can include control lights 102 configured at the intersecting lanes 202. The first traffic controlling apparatus 204 can be configured with the first intersecting lane 206, simultaneously the second traffic controlling apparatus 208 can be configured with the second intersecting lane 210. For instance, the first intersecting lane 206 having more traffic density as compared to other intersecting lanes 202. The CCTV cameras 104 configured with the traffic controlling apparatus and operatively coupled with the processing unit 112 receives the CCTV video footage. CNNs based on detection of edges of the vehicles, colour of the road, white colour of division of the road, and gradient orientation of the intersecting lanes 202 with reinforcement learning gives signal to the control lights configured with the traffic controlling apparatuses. Based on the traffic density the timer of green light in the control lights 102 can be increased in the first intersection lane 206 thereby signalling red light in second intersection lane 210 with low density. This can reduce waiting time of vehicle with more traffic density as compared to manual or conventional system for controlling traffic at an intersecting lane 202. In another exemplary embodiment, if an situation arises that there is red light in first intersecting lane 206 with high traffic density, the CCTV video footage will be analysed by the processing unit 112,thereby giving signal to the traffic controlling apparatus to reduce the timer of the red light in the first intersection lane 206,thereby saving waiting time of the vehicles in the first intersecting lane 206.
