ABSTRACT

The Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) is an innovative project aimed at optimizing traffic flow and reducing congestion on roads through the use of intelligent traffic management. The system is designed to adjust traffic signals in real-time based on traffic data collected from multiple ultrasonic sensors. This optimization reduces wait times, improves safety, and ultimately results in economic and environmental benefits. The heart of the ATCS is the microcontroller, which processes the real-time traffic data and sends commands to the traffic signals to adjust their timing. The use of this technology provides a cost-effective solution to traffic control by utilizing open-source software and hardware. The ATCS project has the potential to significantly improve traffic management in urban areas. The system's ability to process real-time traffic data and optimize traffic flow through adaptive signal control can reduce congestion, travel time, and vehicle emissions. The ATCS can also be integrated with other smart city technologies, such as connected vehicles and infrastructure, to further enhance traffic management and safety.
