Smart Traffic light control in the junction using Raspberry PI

Abstract

In the current traffic system, there is a wastage of power consumption during non-peak hour as current traffic signal shows green light even though there is no vehicles on the road and also in some cases user has to wait for the signal to become green even though there is no vehicles on other roads of the junction which causes the irritation for the driver. In the proposed system, we are considering some threshold distance when the sensor finds any object within this distance using IOT technologies and when other roads are empty then it will switch on the green light otherwise it will switch off the light. This proposed system is helpful for the users during the non-peak hours and also saves the power during non-peak hours as in India most of the vehicles will be there during peak hours so there is lot of power wastage happens because of the current signal system.
