Traffic Light System Based on FTP Server: Damage Detection and Duration Arranger

Abstract

Traffic lights at intersection of highway have a very important role in regulating the flow of vehicles to avoid traffic jam. Therefore, it is necessary for setting duration of lights and perform damage detection of traffic lights. The result can be run in accordance with situational requirements of traffic at intersection. Research’s goal was to set the duration and perform detection of traffic light damage, so it could be repaired as soon as possible. The system consists id for two main devices that were sending and receiving devices. Function of Raspberry PI and Arduino were to set duration based on data received by control center, perform damage detection and also sending data to control center. Data processed in Raspberry PI device and uploaded to FTP Server. Receiver was download data from FTP server and plot it on application. This system was tested by changing duration and turned off one of the lights as simulated damage. From test results, data generated run in accordance with what was expected that data changes according to the conditions of traffic lights. This system consists of the Raspberry PI and Arduino UNO as main processor, LDR sensor readings and voltage divider value as well as damage parameter and also Logitech C170 camera for taking pictures or video.
