description Smart city infrastructure and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) need modern traffic monitoring and driver assistance systems such as autonomous traffic signal detection. ITS is a dominant research area among several fields in the domain of artificial intelligence. Traffic signal detection is a key module of autonomous vehicles where accuracy and inference time are amongst the most significant parameters. In this regard, the aim of this study is to detect traffic signals focusing to enhance accuracy and real-time performance. The results and discussion enclose a comparative performance of a CNN-based algorithm YOLO V3 and a handcrafted technique that gives insight for enhanced detection and inference in day and night light. It is important to consider that real-world objects are associated with complex backgrounds, occlusion, climate conditions, and light exposure that deteriorate the performance of sensitive intelligent applications. This study provides a direction to propose a hybrid technique for TLD not only in the daytime but also in night light.
