ABSTRACT

The accretion of traffic has led to the use of a more sophisticated Traffic management system in today's society. Traffic Congestion is a major factor which forestalls the smooth flow of Ambulance and VIP vehicles. To abate the inconvenience caused by the traffic, the Traffic Light Controller (TLC) is used which minimizes the waiting time of vehicles and also manages traffic load. RFID based systems play a crucial role in solving the problems caused by traffic. The project is a replica of a four-way lane crossing in a real time scenario. In the first part, concentrated on problems faced by Ambulances, RFID concept is used to make the Ambulance’s Lane Green and thus provides a free way without interrupting the Ambulance. In the second part, concentrated on problems faced by Priority vehicles, IR sensors are used to actuate the timers accordingly and thus preventing traffic congestion. In the third part, concentrated on Traffic density control, IR transmitter and receiver are used to provide dynamic traffic control and thus increasing the duration of the green light of the lane in which traffic density is high and hence, regulating traffic.
