Recently, the number of private cars has increased sharply due to the increase in national income. The sudden increase in the number of vehicles in limited territory has caused serious traffic congestion and the traffic congestion cost wasted on the road due to such traffic congestion is increasing every year. To solve this problem, we propose a traffic signal control system using image processing. In this paper, we use the camera installed at the intersection to measure the amount of traffic flowing in and out of each road simultaneously. We propose a traffic signal control system that can prevent traffic congestion before it happens. In the case of applying the traffic signal control system proposed in this paper to the daytime, the traffic volume could be measured accurately. However, the result of the experiment with the night-time general camera and the headlight with the infrared camera at the night-time of 72.8% was 86.6%.
