Traffic due to automobiles is a major problem in many urban places in India as well as in other countries. Malfunctioning of the traffic lights and various other dysfunctionalities has led to traffic congestion which hurts the economy, environment, and overall quality of life. Hence it is very important to manage the traffic congestion problem effectively. In this paper, a prototype is proposed for a traffic management system using IR sensors, Arduino, serial to the parallel shift register, and LED displays. The density of the traffic is measured by placing the IR sensors at the 4 lane junction after a certain distance. The data collected from sensors is used to dynamically change the sequence of green lights as well as to dynamically change the green light delays. The proposed road traffic management system is implemented in the proteus software. For high traffic zone, a higher green light delay is given whereas for low density zone, the duration of the green light delay is reduced. The system is also designed in such a way as to give preference to the lanes which have no vehicles/very few vehicles by providing the least green light delays.
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.
