Smart Traffic Signal Management System

Abstract

In today’s scenario traffic congestion is a serious issue to look after which has became a hectic issue to solve. There are some major consequences due to this traffic congestion like pollution, wastage of time due to the unnecessary stoppage at the signals due to the conventional time based signaling system and even it results in the loss of human life if the emergency vehicle like Ambulance got stuck in the traffic. So, to resolve these issues we have implemented a device which clears the traffic based on density as wells as when the ambulance arrives at the signal. This paper mainly focus on two important aspects 1. Clearing the traffic based on the density by using of IR sensors and Arduino UNO helps in collecting, processing and analyzing the information which monitors the signal accordingly 2. Controlling of traffic for ambulance by using IOT. Blynkapp is an IOT platforms used for the monitoring of the ambulance when it arrives near the traffic signals.
