Abstract :
In recent years, the volume of vehicles in Indonesia has increased rapidly
without adequate infrastructure development. imbalance in the number of vehicles
and the availability of road facilities, congestion also often occurs at certain times
and in certain areas. For example, traffic jams often occur in the morning on
working days where employees go to their respective workplaces, the roads that
are most likely to be jammed are the roads leading to the work place. This applies
not only to employees, to traders, especially traders of agricultural products, the
same thing will also arise, especially in the middle of a city. This study offers a
system that can automatically calculate the number of vehicles using the Contour
Method which automatically calculates the number of vehicles using Open CV.
System and program testing by counting vehicles on the highway. Tests carried out
on the test data video resulted in accurate calculations on the video 1 and video 2
test data showing a difference in the amount between the results of manual
calculations and system calculations on vehicles. Errors in calculating the number
of vehicles occur due to adjacent vehicle objects so that only one vehicle is counted
in the system. Based on the results of the tests that have been carried out, the vehicle
count system is able to count vehicles with the highest level of accuracy is 93% in
video 2.
