| Abstract | The road accidents are most caused by over-speed of vehicles. In order to reduce these mishaps, some monitoring system is required. But for developing countries, some cheap and trustable traffic parameter monitoring systems are required. Whether the system is real time or near real time. This study provides near real time traffic parameter such as number, types of vehicle along with their speed on timely basis for particular location. These parameters can or may be applied in real world in different area of traffic flow management such congestion management, lane separation, and expressways declaration, speed controlling. The main motto of this study is to count the number of moving object on the road along with their types and speed with easily transportable low cost system. The main component of this study is video image which captured by a passive sensor i.e. a web camera. The web-camera is used as it can be found easily and connected to computer. In near real time traffic parameter monitoring, video images are used to produce still image as all the parameter related to this traffic (moving object on road) are calculated using these still images. This system can detect all the movement on the road and display them in the form of binary image. The camera used in this system must be focused to the ground without letting any portion of the camera image to the horizon. The speed calculation becomes easier |
