Traffic light automatic design

Abstract

A lot of challenges and limitations at road junction in the traffic light system has. In real life the systems are based on static mode of programming the traffic lights. Therefore, it is not flexible or in other words cannot modify on real time . Hence, the vehicles waste a lot of fuel and surely the drivers wastes a lot of their time . To solve and monitor the traffic light system and make it more efficient , we have to use an intelligent technique taking the advantage of the sensors, computer and the GSM modem which could add the real time benefit to the system. This paper explores the design for the automation of the traffic light control system. The traffic light is designed using a personnel computer (PC) programmed in C++ language, IR sensor and GSM modem. The system solves the wasting time and fuel problem .The system also considers the problem of the emergency vehicle which waits a lot in the road intersection . The design considers as well the problem of the congestion that occurs when an accident in the path happens.
