Abstract
Problem statement: Traffic congestion and tidal flow management were recognized as major problems in modern urban areas, which have caused much frustration and loss of man hours. Approach: In order to solve the problem an intelligent RFID traffic control has been developed. It has circumvented or avoided the problems that usually arise with systems such as those, which use image processing and beam interruption techniques. RFID technology with appropriate algorithm and data base were applied to a multi vehicle, multi lane and multi road junction area to provide an efficient time management scheme. A dynamic time schedule was worked out for the passage of each column. Results: The simulation has shown that, the dynamic sequence algorithm has the ability to intelligently adjust itself even with the presence of some extreme cases. The real time operation of the system emulated the judgment of a traffic policeman on duty, by considering the number of vehicles in each column and the routing proprieties. Conclusions/Recommendations: RFID together with Internet and GSM technologies are anticipated to create a revolution in traffic management and control systems. The data base contains online statistical information, which can be used by operators and planners to develop better models in the future.
Highlights
The operation of standard traffic lights which are currently deployed in many junctions, are based on predetermined timing schemes, which are fixed during the installation and remain until further resetting
The RFID system can be enabled by the ubiquitous sensors, which are made as part of the input devices in the traffic management application
It turned out that the situation was created by construction work involving road widening between Seremban and Senawang
Summary
The operation of standard traffic lights which are currently deployed in many junctions, are based on predetermined timing schemes, which are fixed during the installation and remain until further resetting. Every road junction by necessity requires different traffic light timing setup, many existing systems operate with an over-simplified sequence. This has instigated various ideas and scenarios to solve the traffic problem. Most of the present intelligent traffic lights are sensor based with a certain algorithm that controls the switching operation of the system[1,2]. This approach considers the traffic to be moving smoothly and does not require any management or monitoring of traffic conditions. When some unpredictable situation develops, or when congestion occurs, there is no proper way of dealing with such development
