One of the important fields which directly affect our life is the traffic congestion alert system i.e. a complete system which is able to detect congestion and alert concerned parties to save time, fuel and man power. Recent methods in congestion detection need prior knowledge about the road or several minutes are taken to produce results or a huge infrastructure is needed to implement the system, even then, not in real time. Most of the current studies in image processing are not reliable for real implementation because they either lack accuracy or do not work in real time. The proposed system aims to find a new congestion detection method that has high accuracy and having real time processing time, also it aims to demonstrate the transmit/receive process for image transmission using Software Defined Radio.
