Previous methods to detect traffic signals were not fully successful as they had limitations in detecting yellow and arrow traffic lights, in long-distance identification of a traffic light from a few pixels, and the obstruction of traffic lights from other infrastructure. This project uses a new method to identify traffic lights and their states in both urban and suburban areas by developing a deep learning model utilizing a You Only Look Once (YOLOv3) model.
