Abstract
This review proposes a traffic congestion management and accident detection system to reduce congestion at junctions and to provide emergency assistance during accidents. The proposed system employs advanced computer vision and image processing techniques like You Only Look Once (YOLO) to monitor and analyze real-time traffic conditions and accidents. The pivotal feature of this system lies in its adaptive decision-making capability, automatically adjusting traffic signal timings based on observed density patterns and updating and reporting about the congestions and accidents for which Internet of Things (IOT) technologies are used. Nowadays many junctions and roads are equipped with surveillance cameras connected to traffic management systems. Therefore, techniques like YOLO can be viable tools for automatic accident detection and traffic control.
