Traffic is a major problem mainly in metropolitan cities leading to a waste of resources and time. Countering traffic is in the best interest of everyone. With this paper, we propose a plan to tackle traffic through traffic light modulation. The duration of the signals is modified based on the real-time data obtained and processed at junctions. Thus, an informed decision is taken and this has the potential to limit traffic caused due to lengthy signals. The system uses powerful image & video processing algorithms in order to process data. The anticipated outcome of the system was met satisfactorily. The system proposed in the paper can be considered as a simplified system upon which other features can be designed. It has ample of scope to improve in future. Image processing can help empower signals to identify accidents and emergency vehicles too. The system has the potential to solve a plethora of problems related to traffic.
