Abstract :

Nowadays, because of the growing numbers of vehicles on streets and roads, the use of intelligent controlsystems to improve driving safety and health has become a necessity. To design and implement suchcontrol systems, having information about traffic light colors is essential. There are the wide variety oftraffic lights in terms of light intensity and color. Therefore it seems that design and practicalimplementation of these systems with acceptable performance is difficult. The study has been discussedextracting, Categories and the offer of a specific model for color and intensity of traffic signals based onan improved algorithm. The proposed intelligent system will detect traffic lights through images byinstalling camera instead of using electronic sensors. After capturing, the image sequence will then beanalyzed using computer based programs for extracting of lights specifications.
