Internet of Thing Based Smart Traffic Control Signal Using Solar Energy

Abstract

Nowadays traffic congestion is major problem in all over the cities. The cities are renovated to “smart cities” by using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The IoT are playing a vital role in smart cities. This work proposes Internet of Thing (IoT) based smart traffic control signal using solar energy for smart cities. This signal is always coordinated with the emergency vehicle like ambulance to discover the signal and select the route where road traffic is dynamically controlled and the traffic violation vehicles are identified by traffic monitoring officers through internet. The traffic control signal lights are automatically controlled by Raspberry Pi controller with the help of IR sensor and RF signal. If any emergency vehicle will come nearby traffic control signal then the green signal shows for emergency vehicle and the remaining paths are shows as red signal.
