The development of a tracking algorithm for ambulance detection using squaring of RGB and HSV color processing techniques

One of the factors that often leads to traffic congestion in cities is traffic lights at a road intersection. Customarily, traffic lights are pre-programmed with fixed timers and does not consider vehicle intensity at intersections. It does not have an intelligent sensor to self-learn the road condi...
