INTRODUCTION TO PROBLEM
Traffic is increasing day-by-day in
our country. In metropolitan cities
traffic congestion is most common
problem.
Due to this congestion severe
accidents happens leading to loss of
our friends and families.
The present day traffic system
provides fixed time for all lane no
matter the density of vehicle is.
EXISTING WORK
PROPOSED WORK
The prototype works on changing delay of traffic
signal based on detection of different density levels.
Level 1 : Low Dense Traffic
Level 2 : Moderate Dense Traffic
Level 3 : Extreme Dense Traffic
There are several IR sensors placed at certain
distances on a single lane to detect different traffic
levels. Group of such IR sensor is placed at each lane.
As vehicle stops behind the junction, input detected
by combined 3 IR sensor are sent to microcontroller.
The microcontroller perform its function according
to algorithm programmed and glow traffic signal LED
according to density.
PROJECT PLAN
Week 1 & 2 : Preparing and prototyping normal traffic light
signal system with constant delays and to ensure normal work.
Week 3 & 4 : Preparing dynamic code for proposal traffic light
signal. Embedding prototype with IR sensors to detect traffic
density.
Week 4 & 5 : Finalizing and implementing mechanism to
overcome level traffic density problem using ESP8266.
EXPECTED OUTCOME
There is expected change in delay of traffic light based on
density as detected by IR sensors.
The delay is expected to decrease if traffic density is less in
a particular lane.
The delay is expected to increase if traffic density is more
in a particular lane.
On extreme traffic density, a message needs to be delivered
on to traffic control room.
Expected reduction in traffic congestion by 37%
