    Automated, low-cost pedestrian crossing carriage for efficient traffic control and pedestrian safety
    (IEEE International Research Conference on Smart computing & Systems Engineering (SCSE) 2019, Department of Industrial Management, Faculty of Science, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2019) Yasaswin, B.A.O.S.; Jinasena, T.M.K.K.
    Disorganized city planning and a huge rise in use of automobiles on the road have caused massive traffic congestion in cities across the world. Pedestrian crossing designed to facilitate movement across the road network, have unfortunately become a hindrance to movements of traffic. Though the smart zebra lines had been introduced, it has not contributed much to reduce the time that holds vehicle lines under the traffic lights. Moreover, the establishment of transfer hubs and underground crossings remain silent in local context because of their cost. Even though there are plenty of pedestrian crossing mechanisms available, they are not secure and not ideal for the disabled, elderly, children, and the sick. Considerable numbers of police officers have to spend their time on traffic controlling duties though it’s inefficient and wastage of human resources. A number of studies have focused on automated vehicles and robots as tools to ease problems of congestion. This paper, it focuses on the design of an automated guided carriage system for pedestrian transportation in an efficient and secure manner

    Pedestrian detection using image processing for an effective traffic light controlling system
    (International Research Conference on Smart Computing and Systems Engineering - SCSE 2018, 2018) Chathumini, K.G.L.; Kumara, B.T.G.S.
    Traffic congestion and road pedestrian accident are the two major issues that the Sri Lankan society faced toady. These two issues can be reduced by use of traffic light controlling system in an effective way. This research paper proposed a system to make effective PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled (PELICON) crossing system using image processing. The proposed system consists of three major parts. That is CCTV camera, the system, and pair of poles with standard traffic light system. First the system captures an image of pedestrians who are waiting to cross the road, using CCTV camera. Then the system processes the image to identify and detect the number of pedestrians. Finally, if the number of pedestrians exceeds a given threshold value or pedestrian waiting time is exceeded, then the logical part of the system works and produces a result to control the traffic light system. This system that uses PELICON crossing system could be more effective than a button clicking PELICON Crossing system.
