The traffic light system has been working based on the specific signal light timing diagram, in wich, the time period for each lane is unchangeable. In some situation, the number of vehicles at each lane is much different, specifically, there are not any or so few vehicles at one lane, but there are so many vehicles at the others, and the time periods for all the lanes are still the same. This leads to many vehicles have to wait in unnecessary periods. In this paper, authors proposed a method to design a remote-control system for the traffic light which flexibly controls time periods through camera system. Raspberry-Pi, functions as the central process unit, both sends the image to Traffic Management Center and provides the traffic signals for traffic light system. This method is evaluated through the real experimental model.
