Abstract: The current 21st century’s biggest problem is the ever growing population. With the increase in number of population there are a lot of things that are hampered or changed in ordered to sustain and maintain. One of the major drawbacks of the growing population is the equivalent growth of road vehicles. The increasing number of vehicles on road causes a serious problem that is traffic congestion. An idea to reduce the traffic congestion has been provided through this paper. An edge detection based traffic management system has been developed which will capture images of the traffic inflow and redirect and them in order to reduce the congestion on each signal. An android app has been developed using app inventor II to provide route updates and traffic congestion details to the users, so to find a better route for their travel.
