Density Based Traffic Control System with Smart Sensing Of Emergency Vehicles

Abstract

Present Traffic Light Controller (TLC) relies upon micro-controller and microchip. These TLC have restrictions as they are depend on pre-portrayed gear, which is filling in with respect  to the program that doesn't have the versatility of adjustment on continuous reason. Owing to fixed time spans, orange and red signals holding up time is more and vehicle uses more fuel. To make traffic light leadership progressively beneficial, we abuse the advancement of new procedure called as Density based traffic control system with smart sensing of emergency vehicles. It is constructed mainly by using Magnetic Sensors for real world environment and by using IR modules for Model. The main objective of our project is to clear traffic efficiently by effective usage of the green signal time. In this system the density of the vehicle in a particular lane is obtained by the number of magnetic sensors kept in the road side which produces output signal with respect to the density of the traffic. Thus produced output signal is further processed by ARM microcontroller and according to the density obtained by the magnetic sensors the countdown time of the green signal is varied by the microcontroller and hence the usage of green signal even after all the vehicle pass by are prevented. In addition to this system our system also senses the emergency vehicle like ambulance that approaches the signal by detecting the RF signal transmitted by the Ambulance or other emergency vehicle with the help of RF receivers that kept at the road side and halts all the vehicles by putting red signal for all the four sides of road and puts special green jeep signal for the emergency vehicle to pass by hence our system provide way for emergency vehicle. It can also prioritize the emergency vehicle with the help of RF transmitter and receiver. As the signalling board receives the RF signal, it turns the Corresponding lane ON, thus clearing the route for the emergency vehicle. DSS also analyses the pollution levels by placing a check over the vehicle emissions at the junctions. When the priorities of any two lanes clash, pollution levels are taken into account to provide the signals for them in turns. The gas sensors are fitted onto the signalling boards which help in calculating the pollutant levels.
