Traffic congestion in Makassar has occurred over the last 3 years due to the increase of vehicle amount with the lack of adequate road space. To solve the problem, the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is needed. One of the research topics in ITS is determining the turnover time of traffic lights based on the number of vehicles in the road. Viola-Jones method can be used to count the number of vehicles by detecting objects. Therefore, this study shows a simulation of the number of vehicles using the Viola-Jones method as an initial step to implement the ITS in Makassar. The data used is a front view car pictures. Simulation results show that the average accuracy rate of the detection is determined by the number of samples. For example, the average of the highest detection accuracy is 92% by using 150 positive samples and 300 negative samples were applied to 30 test samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
