Abstract :
The violation of traffic lights by motorists is a
huge concern, which requires innovative technological
approaches that must be implemented to ensure
compliance. However, developing countries are lagging
behind on the adoption of enhanced technologies. This in
general has always kept productivity low and has even
caused social instability. This research investigates
modern technologies that have been used to develop
smart techniques and tools to account for traffic light
violations. A survey has been done and it reveals other
techniques which can be implemented as single entities or
as a combination of different technologies to achieve one
goal. An example of such a goal is accounting for
anomalies of red traffic light (RTL) running. The use of
automated techniques and technologies can assist the
traffic controlling police officers who may be sometimes
unavailable to observe the flow of traffic and related
anomalies. Computer vision is dominating together with
other technologies like Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID), Radio Detection And Ranging (RADAR),
induction loops and Light Detection And Ranging
(LiDAR. Collectively these components and devices can
be called Internet of things (IoT) devices. In developing
countries there is a need to embrace inexpensive
technologies to ease the current traffic situations.
Identifying inexpensive solutions opens opportunities of
more funding for improved tools and technologies.
