Abstract: Traffic congestion is a major problem in cities of developing Countries like India. Growth in urban population and the middle-class segment consume vehicles to the rising number of vehicles in the cities. Congestion on roads eventually results in slow moving traffic, which increases the time of travel, thus be notable as one of the major issues in metropolitan cities. Emergency vehicles like ambulance and fire trucks need to reach their destinations at the earliest. If they spend a lot of time in traffic jams, valued lives of many people may be in danger. Here the image sequences from a camera are analyzed using various edge detection and object counting methods to obtain the most efficient technique. Then, the number of vehicles at the intersection is evaluated and traffic is efficiently managed. The traffic signal indication continuously glows to green as long as the emergency vehicle is waiting at the traffic lane. After the vehicle crossed the junction, automatically the traffic signals follow the previous pattern generation of traffic signals.
