IoT based on Smart Traffic Lights and Streetlight System

Abstract

Energy wastage, traffic jams, and traffic monitoring are the three main problems the world's population is confronting. The traditional roadway management method is ineffective at controlling the flow of traffic when one lane has significantly more traffic than the others. Additionally, the present street light controller uses lights that are not turned off in the morning even though it is sufficiently light outside and that are turned on in the late afternoon before even the sun sets, which causes some power loss. This proposed system will offer an advanced smart traffic management system and intelligent street lighting system to bring a standardized approach to solving this issue. The enhanced smart traffic control system is accomplished by modifying the signal timings based on the comparison of the densities on all roads, i.e., when a specific lane has much more density compared to the other lanes, that specific lane is modified to a green signal for a specified length of time. By computerizing solar-powered street lights with IoT, energy wastage in the traditional street lighting system is prevented. The street lights are activated whenever an item moves, or they remain off otherwise. This proposed method reduces traffic issues, and energy wastage and improves the traffic monitoring process also.
