Design of Intelligent Traffic Control System Based on ARM

Nowadays congestion in traffic is a serious issue. The traffic congestion can also be caused by long Red light delays, etc. The delay of respective light is hard coded in the traffic light and it is not dependent on traffic. Therefore for simulating and optimising traffic control to better accommodate this increasing demand is arises. In this project we discussed the optimisation of traffic light controller in a Metropolitan City using micro-controller and Digital Display. The system tries to reduce possibilities of traffic jams, caused by traffic lights, to an extent and give ease to drivers to avoid congested path. The system is based on microcontroller, GPRS module, IR sensors and Digital Display. Microcontroller also store vehicles count in its memory. Based on different vehicles count, the microcontroller takes decision and updates the traffic light delays as a result. The traffic light will decide itself the timing based on the current traffic density. This system is monitored in a monitoring station via cloud. All the information that is stored in the ARM7 is transmitter to the cloud via the GPRS module that is being installed.
