Automatic Intelligent Traffic Controller and Operation Mode
0 likes•53 views
This document summarizes an automatic intelligent traffic controller system that uses IR sensors and an Arduino board to control traffic lights and road spikes based on vehicle density and emergencies. IR sensors placed on the roadside measure vehicle input and output counts to determine traffic density. Higher density lanes will get longer green lights. In emergencies, IR sensors on an ambulance can trigger green lights and deactivate road spikes 50 yards before intersections. The system aims to reduce traffic and wasted time compared to traditional time-based controls. It uses an Arduino as the main controller, an LCD to display traffic data, LEDs for traffic lights, motors to control road spikes, and IR sensors to detect vehicles and emergencies.

Abstract - Traffic congestion is the biggest problem faced by
densely populated countries like India, China etc. So, our
project focuses on mainly two areas-Ambulance, and Traffic
density control. Here we used the IR sensor to identify the
density of the vehicle and the emergency on the road.
Generally, the IR transreceiver will be placed on the road side
at a certain distances that is to find the vehicle density by
taking the input and output counts of the vehicles. In a case of
emergency vehicle we can place the IR sensor transmitter in
the vehicle and place the IR sensor receiver on the road side
that’s 50 yard apart for the traffic light signal to identify the
emergency vehicle from the other vehicles. If in a case of high
road density at any lane of the roads the traffic signal to the
high density area will be in green light which after some time
goes back to red when the density is considerably less. In a
case of emergency to pass the lights will be turned to green.
This project also implements the use of road spikes that act as
a barrier when vehicles try to pass when there is a stop signal
on, which is ineffective due to emergency mode.
Key Words: IR sensor, Arduino, LCD display, LED lights,
DC motor.
1. INTRODUCTION
Rapid advances in scientific understanding and global
economic activity have resulted in a significant increase in
the volume of automotive activity for human and product
mobility, necessitating greater road construction. Controls
for vehicular movement, as well as controllers, are thus a
crucial requirement of modernsociety. Inexistingprojectsof
traffic management system and controls, the methods are
time based traffic system, which has disadvantages of
requiring more human power and more time wastage, also
uncontrollable traffic. In this proposed method, the model is
designed and built in a way that reduces time wastage and
increasing traffic control system. This projectmadeuseof IR
sensor and Arduino to calculate the densityoftraffic thereby
managing and reducing the traffic times.
This paper further goes on using the road spikesfor
reducing the rash driving. The spikes can be controlled by
the Arduino according to the situations. These situationsare
determined by the traffic modes where in this project it is
taken as, when there is a stop signal the spikes will be at
their ON position, if not OFF. In situations like emergency
vehicle passing through the lights will be green and the
spikes will OFF.
2. METHODOLOGY
The first in the methodology we explaintheworking
of the IR sensor. The IR sensor are the interconnected with
Arduino. The IR sensor are place in the rod side and the
using to calculate vechicle count near to the traffic light
signal. The IR sensor are count the vehcile by the passing the
IR transrecevier. On the one side of the traffic light signal we
place the two IR transrecevier which have the distances
between each other of about 20 meters. The one of the IR
transrecevier are using to count the input of the vehicle and
the other IR transrecevier are usind as the count the output
of the vehcile. When the input and output of the vehicle are
equal the traffic light signal are working in the normal delay
timing. When the input are increases and output side is zero
the IR transreceiver are consider that the hightrafficdensity
and in road lane the green light delay will be increases
automatically and remaining roadlinetheredlightdelaywill
be increses.
The LCD display we are place the display to show
the timing delay of traffic signal and changes in the high
traffic time delay. The LCD display intergated with the
Arduino and the output delay are shown in the display.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/irjet-v9i637-221007112049-5d3b6cc8/85/Automatic-Intelligent-Traffic-Controller-and-Operation-Mode-1-320.jpg)

Here we are using the small DC motor to drive the spike in the road lane. 3. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPONENTS IR sensor module LCD display LED light (Green & Red color) Arduino Dc motor 3.1. IR sensor module A device that can send and receive infrared data is known as an infrared transceiver. These devices are most typically used in communications, although they can also be used for other purposes.Infraredtransceiversarefrequently produced by infrared equipment manufacturers and can be obtained at electronics and hardware stores. An infrared transceiver can be used for a variety of purposes. Here the IR sensor module are using to the count the vehicle IN and OUT on the road lane. The difference between IN and OUT count of the vehicle we calculate the density of the traffic. 3.2. LCD display A liquid-crystal display is a flat-panel screen or other electronically controlled optical devicethatusesliquid crystals and polarizers to modulate light. Liquid crystals do not directly emit light, instead relying on a backlighting or reflector to create colors or monochrome images. Preset letters, and seven-segment displays, such as those seen in a digital clock, are all examples of devices that use these displays. They all employ a same basic technology, but arbitrary images are created using a matrixofsmallerpixels, whereas other displays use larger elements. LCDs can be switched on (positive) or off (negative). The LCD display we using for to showthetimedelay of the traffic signal and vehicle count numberarealsoshown in the display. 3.3. LED light The term LED is refers as "Light Emitting Diode". In comparison to incandescent light bulbs, Led light bulbs produce light up to 90% more effectively. A microchip receive an electrical current, which ignites theverytinylight source known as LEDs, resulting in visible light. LED lights do not release UV rays and do not contain any toxic chemicals. LED lights also assist save on materials because one LED light can handle the task of around 25 incandescent bulbs over its lifetime. Here the LED light are refers the traffic signal lights. 3.4. Arduino The Arduino UNO is an ATmega328P-based microcontroller board. It features 14 digital input/output pins (six of which can be used as PWM outputs),sixanalogue input, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB ports, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It comes with everything you'll need to get started with the microcontroller; all you have to do is plug it into a computer via USB or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery. The Arduino uno is main controlleranditsgiventhe time delay signal for the traffic light. The input for Arduino are given by the IR sensor place on the road lane the power supply are given by the power adapter or mini HDMI cable. 3.5. DC motor (Stepper) Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy by DC motors, which are rotational electrical machines (Rotation). The DC motor whichoperatesinthe5V direct current. The RPM (revolution per minutes) of the motor is 400-500 RPM. The 5V DC motor we are using to drive the spikes mechanism on the road lane traffic system. 4. WORKDONE
