Abstract – The population of city and number of vehicles is
increasing day by day. An increasing population growth leads
to create traffic congestions and choosing wrong way to
travel. This paper presents the automatic speed controlled of
the vehicles through road blockers, speed bumps and tyre
killers and it synchronizes the concept of IoT with roads to
make them smart and an ability to makethingsmorecoherent
and effective. Now a days, vehicles are IoT enables and
connected to the internet, we have an effective technique to
guide emergency vehicles like ambulance and fire trucks need
to reach their destinations earlier with shortest path. This
system is very important to design an intelligenttrafficsystem
intelligent to avoid accidents, collisions and traffic jams. This
IoT system is a combination of Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) technology and internet platforms which works with
complete automation.
Key Words: IoT, RFID, Road Blocker, Speed Bumps, Tyre
Killer, Emergency Vehicles.
1. INTRODUCTION
Technology has brought fine changes into every portion of
our life by making it reliable and smart. There are many
situations in which technologies can be used to avoid
accidents in roads which open a wide window for the
requirement of smart road system. The design involves the
road side units as part of intelligent transport system
involving internet of things (IOT). The road blockers are the
controlled traffic settings it isavailable to protect the lives
and properties. These proposed systems is specially
designed for the traffic flow community, commercial areas,
in parking slots, residential areas, by limiting access to only
authorized vehicular traffic and high level traffic control
commercial entrances and exit. Speed bumps are placed on
residential places, crammed places, and school zones [1]. It
places on the ground (road) to control the speed of vehicles
at the day time. There is no need of the speed bumps at night
time, it rotates downwards and gets flattened on the road.
Tyre killers are spike barriers. This system is fixed at the
road and composed of heavy duty spikes that rises from the
ground it operates like an access control barrier, it prevents
the passage of unauthorized vehicles or it allows exit from a
supervised area.
2. OBJECTIVES
• The main purpose of the tyre killer and traffic
barrier is forinstance, controlling the flowofTraffic
or preventing unauthorized vehicles from entering
secure areas.
• The main purpose of the speed bumps is to control
the over speed in particular region Road.
• To avoid the unnecessary accidents and save our
peoples.
• Work zone barriers are used to protect traffic from
Hazards.
• To reduce the human work.
• To reduce the time consumptions.
3. EXISTING SYSTEM
In this method is fully focused to make the traffic light
fully adaptive using the wireless sensor network [2].
According to the concept of this method, traffic light
change their states from Red to Green or vice versaasperthe
load of traffic and static time limit has the least importance
as load of traffic over rule the traffic signal automatically is
shown in figure 1.
Fig -1: Traffic loaded intersection
This method does not focus upon the prioritization of
vehicle on intersections because at some point of times it
happens that emergency vehicles keep on waiting for their
intersection sideto get green and clear to pass. Andit'sbeen
seen that it slow thanks to this, rescue team gets delay to
reach their destinations which results in more damage.
Hence, these want bit refinements to create some changes
that takes take care of the emergency vehicles to urge pass
with priority [3].

3.1 WSITMN
WSITMN is a traffic monitoring system that uses radio
frequency identification (RFID) tags and wireless sensor
network (WSN) is shown in figure 2. Here each vehicle is
given a RFID tag and once a vehicle with a RFIDtagentersthe
observance zone, the RFID reader reads the information on
the RFID tag and gathers information about the traffic flow.
All the data collected is processed and sent to the base
station. The base station then compiles the data, and
transmits it to the monitoring center, where all the data
gathered are analyzed and decisions are made. Here the
disadvantage is that the most observance center could be a
centralized system and if it fails then the total system
becomes useless. This process is also a bit time taking and it
is also not possible to set RFID tags on allthepassingvehicles
[4].
Fig -2: WSN using RFID
The Government has approved a National Road SafetyPolicy
is shown in figure 3.
Fig -3: Road facilities in India
This Policy outlines various policy measures such as
promoting awareness, establishing road safety information
data base, encouraging safer road infrastructure including
application intelligent transportenforcement of safety laws
etc., [5]. The death survey is shown in table 1.

4. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The microcontroller is the major part of the controlling
system is shown in figure 4. The consequence block can be
designed on the requirement converter blocks gets supply
directly from the source through a filter circuit.
Fig -4: Block diagram for the proposed system
The converter block converts the AC source supply into
controlled DC supply and also the converter block provides
the constant voltage with the help of voltage regulatortothe
microcontroller is shown in figure 5.
Fig -5: Power supply
This is provided with a crystal oscillator to get a stable clock
signal which also converts the mechanical signal into the
electrical signal with a verypreciousfrequency. Resetbutton
is used to stop the current process and restart the process.
The input signalfor the microcontroller was received from
the sensor. RF sensor will measure Radio Frequency waves
from the objects in its field ofviews. According to the signal
received the microcontroller will execute the system [6].
Then the output from the transceiver is sent to thetraffic
signal and display board. Depending on the signal the
information on the display board is updated. The 230V AC
supply is step down to 12V and this AC voltage is rectified
to the DC voltage by the bridge Rectifier andthen this
voltage is send to the capacitance for removing the
harmonics gift within the voltage. This filtered voltage is
then regulated by the voltage regulated to 5V and then
passed into another capacitor to filter the noise signals. The
input from the power supply is given to the radiofrequency
sensor and to the microcontroller unit.

The computed data from Microcontroller isthentransmitted
to the smart mobile through IoT (Internet of Things). The
controller makes use of the discussed and planned
algorithm to perform the intelligent routing. In this
system, the primary purpose aim is to gather the
information of moving emergency vehicles based on WSN
to provide them a clear path till their destination should
switch automatically to present a transparent method for
these emergency vehicles [7]. The systems are also capable
of making way for ambulance which is sensed with the help
of RF modules. The speed breakers are laid down flat
when an ambulance reaches the area and the tyre killers
and the barriers are set down. The system can also be
operated manually by the touch of a button. The system
can also be viewed and controlled via IoT (Internet of
Things). This is done with the use of ESP8266 module.
4.1 Relay
Relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use a
magnet to operate the automatic change mechanism,
although alternative operating principles are used. Relay
field unit to regulate circuits wherever necessary, by low
power signals (with complete electrical isolation between
control and controlled circuits), or wherever multiple
circuits must be controlled by a single signal. Necessary
management is done [8]. The first relay was employed in
long-distance telegraph circuits, continuing a signal coming
back from one circuit and re-transmittingittoa different one
as shown in figure 6.
Fig -6: SPDT Switch
4.2 Driver Circuit
L293D is a binary H-ground motorist integrated circuit (IC).
Motor drives act as current amplifiers because they take a
low current control signal and provide a high current signal
which is shown in figure 7.
Fig -7: Interfacing a DC Motor using L293D
This high current signal is used to drive the motor. The
L293D has an inbuilt H-bridge driver circuit. In their normal
mode of operation, DC motors can be driven both forward
and backward simultaneously as shown in table 2.
Table -2: Motor driven circuit truth table

4.3 RF Sensor
An RF module (radio frequency) can be a small electronic
device accustomed to transmit and/or receive radio signals
between 2 devices, shown in figure 8.
Fig -8: RF Transmitter and Receiver
The transmitter itself generates a frequency AC, which is
applied to the antenna. When excited by this AC,theantenna
transmits radio waves. In addition to their use in
broadcasting, transmitter area units are essential part
elements of many electronic devices that communicate by
radio, two-way radios in aircraft and the spacecraft, such as
cell phones, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled devices, ships,
garage door openers, radar set and navigational beaconsare

shown in figure 8. The term is used more specificallytorefer
to transmitting equipment used for broadcasting, as shown
in table 3 in radio transmitters or television transmitters.

4.4 Wi-Fi Module
It is a Wi-Fi serial transceiver module based on ESP8266
SoC. The SoC has an integrated IP/TCP protocol stack. The
ESP8266 is a designed for the needs of a new connected
world and it is highly integrated chip design[9]. Itprovidesa
complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution,
allowing it to either host applications or offload all Wi-Fi
networking functions from another application processor.
The ESP8266 has powerful on-board processingandstorage
capabilities that allow it to be integrated with sensors and
other application specific devices via itsGPIOs,withminimal
development up-front and minimal loading during runtime.
Its high level of on-chip integration allows for minimal
external circuitry, and the entire solution, including front-
end modules, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area [10].
4.5 Tyre Killer
The blocking segment will consist of spikesatanangleof 60o
and will be made of tempered steel.Thespacingbetweenthe
spikes, as measured from the center of the spikes, should be
between 100 mm and 200 mm, shown in figure 9.
Fig -9: Tyre killer
4.6 Road Blocker
The height of the road blocker at the guard position should
be mm (site and hazard specific), as measured from the top
of the foundation frame to the top of the barrier. In the
raised position, the blocking segment is hydraulicallylocked
with an anti-leak device and hydraulically rotating
mechanical support and in the final lower position by rigid
support. (Blocking heights available from 650 to 800 mm)
are shown in figure 10.
Fig -10: Road blockers
4.7 Speed Bumps
While speed bumps are effective at keeping vehicle speeds
low, their use is sometimes controversial because they can
increase traffic noise, damage vehicles when driving at very
high speeds, and slow down emergency vehicles. Poorly
designed speed bumps that stand too high or with a very
steep angle (often found in private car parks [citation
needed] can be disruptive to drivers,anddifficulttonavigate
for vehicles with low ground clearance Maybe, even at very
low. The motion is shown in figure 11.

a cloud platform. The RF sensor helps vehiclestoidentify the
edge and reduce the risk factor. RFIDtechnologycontributes
to the guidance of less congested emergency vehicles. These
proposed systems have overcome the problemsofincreased
congestionand priorityoperation,whichfurthercomplicates
security. The proposed method makes the process safe and
reliable. Therefore, these advanced technologies can reduce
the severity of road disasters to a great extent. The above
proposed system for IoT based fully automatic road blocker
and speed bump for smart city. The Internet has found
solutions to many problems. This technology needs to
implement minimum speed of the vehicles which helps in
reducing the traffic problems.
9. FUTURE SCOPE
In future this project can be extended this system can be
used to inform people about breakers or blockers through
LCD display, signal and alarm. There is traffic congestion
which can operate the blocker or breaker can be controlled
via IoT via telephone network and mobile data or manual
switch. This technology allows the operator to collect data
remotely on a home computer without having to go
anywhere. Although the results are encouraging, several
improvements should be incorporated into the system. This
technology can be applied to roads in the future.
