Proposed Design and Modeling of Smart Traffic Light System using Arduino

Abstract

The most benefit from using traffic light signals were they reduced the number of accidents on roads and also helped with the movement of traffic securely without collision. In Libya we use traditional traffic lights which causes collisions in some places. Therefore, this paper proposed a smart system to solve the traffic problem by using dynamic traffic light control. In this system if there is no traffic on the other signal then one should not wait for this signal. The system which includes light traffic will control this signal and move to the next signal. The signal timing changes automatically when traffic intensity is sensed at the intersection. The microcontroller used in this project is "ARDUINO", also there are other devices such as ultrasound sensors (transmitter and receiver) that are mounted on both sides of the road on poles, the aim of this research is to solve and develop the problem of the road traffic, by using C++ language, electric wires, resistance, electronic board and ultrasonic sensors. In the end, fortunately the results were very accurate.
