Smart Traffic Management and Monitoring System Using IOT and Arduino
Introduction
The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has opened new avenues for smart city solutions, one of which is traffic management. Our Smart Traffic Management System using IoT aims to automate and optimize traffic signal operations while providing real-time monitoring capabilities. This system not only enhances the efficiency of traffic flow but also allows for manual overrides in emergency situations.
System Architecture
The core components of this system include an Arduino-based circuit for monitoring traffic density, IoTGecko for online GUI, and a traffic signal controller. The Arduino circuit collects data on traffic density at various intersections and transmits it to a cloud-based platform.
Hardware Specifications
- Arduino Board
- Traffic Density Sensors
- Wi-Fi Module
- Signal LEDs (Red, Yellow, Green)
- Power Supply
Software Specifications
- Arduino Compiler
- IoTGecko Platform
- Programming Language: C
Block Diagram of Traffic Light Control System
The block diagram represents the flow of data from traffic density sensors to the Arduino board, which then sends this data to the IoTGecko platform for real-time monitoring and control.
Real-Time Monitoring
The IoTGecko platform displays real-time traffic density data, providing traffic controllers with valuable insights into current road conditions. This enables better decision-making for signal timing adjustments.
Manual Override
One of the standout features of this system is the manual override capability. In case of emergencies, such as the passage of an ambulance, traffic controllers can manually change the signal to green for the required direction while keeping other signals red.
Advantages
- Real-time traffic monitoring
- Remote control capabilities
- Emergency manual override
- Energy-efficient
Conclusion
The Smart Traffic Management System using IoT offers a comprehensive solution for traffic monitoring and control. Its real-time data and remote control capabilities make it a revolutionary step towards smarter and more efficient cities.
