Raspberry Pi controlled Traffic Density monitoring system

摘要

This paper explains a Raspberry Pi controlled Traffic Density monitoring system. Raspberry Pi is a single board computer which can be effectively used for multi-functionalities. Here is the one of the ways of using this for multiple purposes. It is used for traffic surveillance purpose where the traffic is continuously monitored and recorded. In addition to this, it is used for detecting the traffic density and gives the traffic report to the travelers. This traffic report is updated periodically and displayed on the screens installed at the public places. These screens can also be used for advertising purposes which is an additional advantage. Using Raspberry Pi one can manage the preference of advertising and displaying traffic report. This installation supports Government by making things digitalized. This also helps in avoiding usage of papers and plastic for advertising. It results in saving environment by reducing plastic usage and also by reducing the deforestation. This method is very cost effective.
