Arduino Based Traffic Light Control System Using NRF Module

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Traffic congestion is a major problem for any contemporary major city. Transportation systems are heavily burdened due to traffic congestion. A major impact of slow moving traffic is the danger posed to critical vehicles like an ambulance as it can cause loss of human capital to any country. A possible solution is to automate the traffic signal controlling mechanism by allowing real time monitoring. Such an approach is expected to decongest traffic as and when needed. In this work a system is proposed which will include a control system which will monitor traffic on a real time basis and take decisions accordingly with minimal human intervention. This system is applicable in urban areas and is also a cost effective alternative. The transmitter on the priority vehicle (e.g. ambulance) communicates with the traffic signal equipped with a receiver. This communication is processed through a control mechanism which regulates the traffic in such a way that the priority vehicle gets easy passage.
