Smart Traffic Control System with Overriding Technology

Abstract

Traffic directing and monitoring is becoming a difficult task now a days. Present day traffic light control system is based on a fixed time breaks of green, orange and red signals and thus the waiting time of vehicle is more and uses more fuel. Hence, ejection of CO from the vehicles at that region is more. Another major problem is the possibility of emergency vehicles to get stuck in traffic jam. This paper’s aim is to design a safe and efficient movement of traffic by reducing the effect of CO at that area and allot the right way, which minimizes the delay. Also, it allows the facility for clearance of the emergency vehicle, if any, by providing early warning along with direction from which vehicle is approaching. In this system a CO sensor is used which is used to sense the CO emissions from vehicles. Based on CO levels, the traffic light indication will be given in the appropriate directions. The status will be shown in LCD. Pedestrian crossing system is also included in this system for safe and efficient flow of traffic.
