TRAFFIC CONTROL
SYSTEM
CONTENTS:
SCOPE:
Current work focuses on how to use effectiely IR and Atmega
328P controllers for digital security srystems.
Components used:
Arduino UNO Board
IR transmitter and Receiver
modules
Green and Red LEDs
Connecting wires
A to B coverting USB cable
Introduction to
Arduino uno :
What is Arduino?
WORKING:
The heart of this circuit is an Arduino, which is connected to four IR sensors
measuring the number of vehicles passing through the four lanes. During the
first 10 seconds, all the vehicles passing through the lane is measured which is
then processed and accordingly delays are set. Thus, the road with more
vehicles is shown green light for a more duration which makes it possible for
efficient traffic control
This project uses an Arduino Uno as a microcontroller. Arduino gets its four
inputs from IR sensor which are set so that they receive signals from vehicles
coming towards the road. The IR readings are logged into the Arduino memory
for the first 10 seconds. After the initial 10 seconds, the readings are compared
to set levels so that the output delay for LED is calculated. This happens for
every of the four main control lines for the signal output.
ADVANTAGES:
Density based traffic light
control have many advantages
compared to time based traffic
control.
We can save considerable
amount of time
we can avoid unnecessary
occurrence of traffic jams
which causes public
inconvenience.
There is no need of traffic
inspector at the junctions for
supervising the traffic to run
smoothly
DISADVANTAGE
S:
IR sensors sometimes
may absorb normal
light also. As a result,
traffic system works in
improper way.
APPLICATIONS:
smart city
CONCLUSION:
Thus from above theory we can conclude that using the method of density based control
of traffic lights we can save a considerable amount of time and also we can prevent
excessive traffic jams thus leading to smooth traffic flow.
In practice presently in India we are following time based control of traffic
signals and we are experiencing a heavy traffic jams all over which in turn consumes lot
of time and fuel. We hope these methods will be adopted as soon as possible so that the
limitations we are experiencing with present method can be overcome.
