Summary:In this paper, the authors present an intelligent traffic monitoring system that provides important traffic information to driven who can employ such information to avoid getting stuck in places that have traffic jams due to high traffic density or other factors such as accidents, weather discrepancies or landslides due to rain or snow accumulation and other information of interest to drivers. The developed tool is based on installing live cameras in critical well-known places that present to the driver the current level of congestion (the density of cars in the road) calculated automatically. In addition, it shows the current state of the roads to destination with an about 80% accuracy level in the various studied conditions. Based on this, the driver can pick the best route to destination.
