A Novel Traffic Management System Using IOT and Raspberry PI 3 Microcontroller

Abstract

The existing Traffic control system is based on the “time” which is already assigned in the system. According to these times the signals are working in each lane. But in these system condition is occurs as all vehicles in lane( L1) are passed and vehicles in another lane (L2) still in waiting state because time is not over and hence signal is still red. These systems are very inefficient because they are unable to handle various simple situations which are occurs throughout the day. Major drawback is it has unnecessary waiting time and there is no facility to handle emergency vehicles. The project is designed to develop a system which performs execution based on density of vehicles (Vehicle Count). After calculating the number of vehicles we will came to know in which side the density is high based on which signals will be allotted for a particular side. Raspberry pi is used as a microcontroller which provides the signal timing based on the traffic density. Raspberry pi directly uploads the Traffic status to the server by using Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi connection. The end user access this data by using GUI designed for specific application. By using webcam it captures the traffic Congestion and emails it to the predefined user.
