Efficient Caution-Light System for Unwarranted Stoppage of Automobiles

Abstract

Traffic congestion and traffic monitoring is one of the important problems all over the world. Cities are the main poles of human and economic activity. They hold the potential to create synergies allowing great development opportunities to their inhabitants. However, they also generate a wide range of problems that can be difficult to tackle as they grow in size and complexity. The project is designed to develop a smart and intelligent traffic signal where the wait time and go time of the signal depends on the density of traffic on respective lanes. The ultrasonic sensors are used to read the density of the vehicles and process these data using Arduino mega 2560 microcontroller to make the traffic signal dynamic.
