Abstract

The project is aimed at designing a density based dynamic traffic signal system where the timing of signal will change automatically on sensing the traffic density at any junction. Traffic congestion is a severe problem in most cities across the world and therefore it is time to shift more manual mode or fixed timer mode to an automated system with decision making capabilities. Present day traffic signalling system is fixed time based which may render inefficient if one lane is operational than the others. To optimize this problem, we have made a framework for an intelligent traffic control system. Sometimes higher traffic density at one side of the junction demands longer green time as compared to standard allotted time. We therefore propose here a mechanism in which the time period of green light and red light is assigned based on the density of the traffic present at that time. This is achieved by using IR (proximity Infrared sensors).
