IoT Based Signal Violated Vehicle Detector

Abstract

Abstract: The number of new vehicles on the road is increasing rapidly, which in turn causes highly congested roads and due to the long awaiting red signals, few vehicle drivers ignore traffic rules by violating traffic signals. This leads to a high number of road accidents and hence it is essential to detect the signal violated vehicles automatically. Traffic violation detection systems using IOT technology can able to send violated vehicle information to the concern traffic police station automatically by which the vehicle can be penalized immediately. The proposed system can be implemented using vehicle ID card installed in the vehicle itself such that if the vehicle moves further during presence of red signal, automatically, vehicle information in the form of vehicle registration number, type of vehicle (weather it is two-wheeler, car, truck, auto, etc.), owner name, vehicle colour, etc, can be forwarded to the concern authorities through concern mobile phones. To prove the concept practically, all vehicles must be equipped with these low-cost wireless ID cards such that the vehicle data can be transmitted continuously. The demo module contains a mini automatic traffic signal post along with simulated road. The system is designed such that when red signal is energized and during this period, if any vehicle crosses the zebra lines, the system receives the vehicle data and transmits the same through Wi-Fi module. If anybody violates the traffic signal, immediately alarm will be energized to alert the nearest traffic police. The main processor must be installed near the traffic signals, which regrets to acquire vehicle information during the presence of yellow and green signals. The demo module contains one toy car which will be equipped with its wireless ID card. Major building blocks: Simulation of single lane road constructed with traffic signal post & zebra crossing, main processor designed with Arduino MCU, wireless ID card designed with 89C2051 controller chip, IR signal decoder (TSOP1738), Wi – Fi module, Alarm, IR LED, 5v Power supply unit, Toy car, etc.
