Abstract:
Traffic lights play a key role in avoiding traffic congestion especially in cities in
peak time. The traffic that built up in peak hours is the result of mismanagment of traffic in
the off-peak hours is the bitter truth. In this paper, the application of the Ultrasonic sensors
and micro controller prioritising the flow of traffic in the road based on vehicle density is
widely discussed. The emergency vehicles are identified using RFID in the proposed
prototype and given the top priority. Portable smart traffic management system is built as a
prototype using inductive sensing elements, RF ID and Micro controller. The prototype of
the smart traffic control system was built and tested in the controlled scenarios,
comprehensive study was made and the results were thus obtained. The obtained results
clearly shows that smart traffic controller is highly effective in clearing the traffic compared
to the traditional traffic control system.
