Intelligent traffic control system at intersection: Case study

Abstract

Traffic jam and accidents are one of the major problems in a densely populated cities, whereas population and number of running vehicles are much more than the road capacity. Due to traffic jam a substantial portion of working hours have to be left on streets which indirectly put adverse impact on economy and unavoidable road accident which results loss of lives. As the number of road users constantly increases, and resources provided by current infrastructures are limited. Traffic control system has become a very important issue. The main objective of this study is to reduce the accidents at the cross junction point. For doing this a microcontrolleror barricade is used with the help of sensor based technology which will make the drivers bound to follow the traffic rules by controlling traffic system that brings the result of decreasing the rate of accident, controlling crowd, lowering the tendency of road blocking etc. This approach can be applied in cross road junction.
