# Traffic Light Control System

Welcome to the Traffic Light Control System project, an innovative solution designed to revolutionize urban traffic management across the UK. Our system intelligently optimizes traffic flow and enhances pedestrian safety using cutting-edge technology, all powered by a Raspberry Pi. By analyzing real-time traffic and pedestrian data, we dynamically adjust traffic signals to reduce waiting times and improve the overall safety of road intersections.

> [!NOTE]
> The camera functionality in the Traffic Light Control System is made possible by the work of the community, particularly through the efforts of [Bernd Porr](https://github.com/berndporr), who provided a convenient interface for integrating libcamera with OpenCV. His repository [libcamera2opencv](https://github.com/berndporr/libcamera2opencv/blob/master/libcam2opencv.h) facilitated the integration of camera functionality with Qt without much hassle.
