Question
i had an idea for automatic traffic system using image processing. iwant to know whether it is possible or not.
my idea is:  real time control of the counters associated with the traffic lights.
1. i will take a photograph of the road upto certain length limited by our timer maximum. and based on the photograph using image processing technique can i found the amount of road in the photograph is filled up with vehicles and then program the timer with sufficient amount of time to clear the road .
can this is possible in image processing?

Answer
Hi sasidhar,

i think that this has already been done (although i can't find the exact paper right now). I suggest you google "smart traffic lights" and read through. You'll find many implementations of traffic lights that alter their on/off time depending on traffic.

Expertise

I can answer most of the questions about the workings of a Fuzzy Logic machine, from the basics up to a certain advanced point.Questions regarding applications of Fuzzy systems intregrating with other technologies such as Neural Nets or Genetic Algorithms are propably out of my reach although,with some research,i could try to answer them(i have working knowledge of Neural Nets an Genetic Algorithms but i`m far from being consider an expert to these areas).

Experience

I have experience in Fuzzy Logic gained in projects i have been part of.The last project was a robotic vehicle that used a Fuzzy Logic path tracker which i designed.
