Design a Prototype of the Application System of Classification and Calculating Motor Vehicles on Highway

Abstract

The growth rate of the number of motor vehicles has a tendency that is always increasing. The increase in the number of motorised vehicles which is not followed by the addition of roads is a cause of traffic jams on the highway. This study aims to design an application system that is used to determine the level of traffic density on certain road sections by using the background subtraction method to classify and count the number of vehicles passing on that road section. From the results of software testing, three types of vehicles can be classified, namely motorcycles, cars, and trucks/buses with an accuracy of 96%, 83%, and 87.15%, respectively.
