Ec1019A Processor Lab - Mini Project: Density Based Traffic Signal System Using Arduino

This document describes a density based traffic signal system using Arduino that aims to reduce traffic delays. The system uses IR sensors on each road to continuously measure traffic density. The Arduino board interfaces with the sensors and controls the traffic lights based on the sensor readings. It will detect which road has the highest traffic and display a green light while showing red lights on other roads. This dynamic system aims to improve traffic flow in busy metropolitan cities compared to traditional fixed-time traffic signals. It requires IR sensors, LED lights, resistors, an Arduino board, breadboard and power adapter. The project will be programmed using the Arduino IDE software.

ABSTRACT
Nowadays, controlling the traffic becomes major issue because of rapid
increase in automobiles and also because of large time delays between traffic lights. So, in
order to rectify this problem, we will go for density based traffic lights system. In this
system, we will use IR sensors to measure the traffic density. We have to arrange one IR
sensor for each road; these sensors always sense the traffic on that particular road. All these
sensors are interfaced to the arduino. Based on these sensors, controller detects the traffic
and controls the traffic system. This project is mainly used to control the traffic in
metropolitan cities. IR transmitter looks like an LED. This IR transmitter always emits IR
rays from it. The operating voltage of this IR transmitter is 2 to 3v. These IR (infra red) rays
are invisible to the human eye. But we can view these IR rays through camera. IR receiver
receives IR rays that are transmitted by IR transmitter. Normally IR receiver has high
resistance in order of mega ohms, when it is receiving IR rays the resistance is very low.
The operating voltage of IR receiver also 2 to 3V. We have to place these IR pair in such a
way that when we place an obstacle in front of this IR pair, IR receiver should be able to
receive the IR rays. When we give the power, the transmitted IR rays hit the object and
reflect back to the IR receiver. Instead of traffic lights, you can use LEDs (RED, GREEN,
YELLOW). In normal traffic system, you have to glow the LEDs on time basis. If the
traffic density is high on any particular path, then glows green LED of that particular path
and glows the red LEDs for remaining paths. In normal traffic system, we allow the traffic
for a time delay of 1 minute for each path.
