Information system for the management of intelligent traffic lights

Abstract

Derived from the population increase and urban growth, vehicle traffic has increased in the cities of Colima and Villa de Álvarez located in Mexico, and with it the problems of road safety and traffic management; the increasing number of roads and traffic lights implies recording the information of each one of these; Therefore, this article presents an information system for the management of intelligent traffic light infrastructure. In the software engineering process, the Agile Unified Process was used to manage the main risks early and guarantee the quality of the product during its life cycle. The system was tested at a prototype level with satisfactory results, as a result a web system contributes to improving road and citizen safety, since based on two vehicle data it connects with web services to other databases, and identifies Immediately form the incidents of vehicles that pass through the roads, including stolen vehicle, speeding and a panic button. The expectations are to scale it to the real environment, and make available to the corresponding authorities the information collected to favor decision-making.

Smart traffic lights for people with visual impairments: A literature overview and a proposed implementation

“…Interestingly, there are also other types of smart traffic light implementation proposals found in the literature. Namely, Ortiz-Figueroa et al (2020) presented an information system for the management of intelligent traffic light infrastructure. Ghazal et al (2016) proposed a system that would be based on a microchip microcontroller through which traffic density would be assessed using infrared sensors.…”
