Abstract
Automation technology is the backbone of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) programs, aimed at building smarter, better and safer niches. With Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded computing, automation is already doing wonders in providing for the assistance of human kind. With more advances in the field of automation the microcontroller aspect is now being overtaken by system on chips (SoCs) or Programmable System on Chips (PSoCs).
Highlights
With overcrowded roads and traffic jams being one of the primary worries of big cities, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) programs lay much emphasis on Intelligent Traffic System (ITS)
The type of microcontroller depends on the application, be it vehicle control, power train or driver information
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) today employ a microcontroller with each sensor and process the data acquired from the sensor, this reduces the data to be sent to the central processor and the computational load of the central processor
Summary
With overcrowded roads and traffic jams being one of the primary worries of big cities, ICT programs lay much emphasis on ITS. Price Factor: SoCs provide various inbuilt functionalities and ease in many aspects like interfacing. Ease of Hardware of access: SoCs mostly use Linux operating systems and provide easy interfaces for hardware support. Ultrasonic sensor provides the distance between vehicle and the obstacle, while Pi camera helps in color detection for traffic signal sensing.
