Traffic Control with Vehicle and Pedestrian Tracker

About the Project:

This project is a part of my Final Year Project at University,
on the topic of Improving current Traffic systems using Cloud
and Edge Computing & High-Performance Computing.

This portion of the project is a real-time vehicle and pedestrian
tracker that uses advanced computer vision techniques to count and
track vehicles and pedestrians in a specific zone/area. It then compares the realtime count of Vehicles and Pedestrians on the road and decides whether to change the traffic light or not.

How it Works:

Feature	Description
	GUI provided to input one-time details necessary to run the detection model. Enter a Video Path or your Webcam
	Select points for creating your zones.
	Output Window, displaying in RealTime

What does it accomplish?

• The project aims to develop a real-time system for counting and tracking vehicles and pedestrians in a specific area using advanced computer vision techniques.

• The primary goal is to improve traffic management and safety by providing accurate data on the flow of vehicles and pedestrians and being able to safely manipulate the traffic flow dynamically.

• This system will leverage a combination of edge computing, cloud resources, and high-performance computing (HPC) to process and analyze video feeds in real-time.

How to run this?

• Clone the repo to your local machine.

• Create a virtual environment using python -m venv venv

• Activate the virtual environment using .\venv\Scripts\activate

• Install the required packages using pip install -r requirements.txt as given.

• [NOTE] Additionally, to utilize your GPU, you will need to separately install torch-2.4.0+cu121, torchvision-0.19.0+cu121 and torchaudio-2.4.0+cu121 from the PyTorch website!

• Once that's done, simply run the main.py file using python main.py and you're good to go!
