ABSTRACT
Improved traffic management and control systems are widely reported to be cost-
effective investments. Simply retiming signals can provide significant benefits by
reducing vehicle stops, travel times, and fuel consumption. The installation of
advanced traffic control system can provide even greater savings. However, many
hardware and software obstacles have impeded the actual implementation of advanced
traffic control systems. The general hardware and software limitations of current
traffic signal control technology are reviewed. The impact of these deficiencies is
discussed in the context of three example applications. Based on this discussion, the
paper identifies several computing issues that should be addressed in order to reduce
the effort involved with integrating existing traffic control devices. Adoption of
software engineering models are recommended.

Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
There are various kinds of Arduino boards are available depending on different
microcontrollers used, however, most common versions are Arduino Uno and
Arduino Mega. However, all Arduino boards have one thing in common: they are
programed through the Arduino IDE. If you are planning to create a project relating
to digital electronics, embedded system, robotics, or IoT, then using Arduino Uno
would be the best, easy and most economical option. It consists of a circuit board,
which can be programed and a ready-made software called Arduino IDE, which is
used to write and upload the computer code to the physical board. Arduino boards
are able to read analog or digital input signals from different sensors and turn it into
an output such as activating a motor, turning LED on/off, connect to the cloud and
many other actions. You can control your board functions by sending a set of
instructions to the microcontroller on the board via Arduino IDE. The Arduino IDE
uses a simplified version of C++, making it easier to learn to program.
Arduino board can be powered by using the USB cable from your computer.
Arduino Uno comes with 6 analog input pins, 14 I/O digital ports that are used to
connect with external electronic circuits. Out of 14 I/O ports, 6 pins can be used for
PWM output. USB port is added on the board to develop serial communication with
the computer. It is an open source platform where anyone can modify and optimize
the board based on the number of instructions and task they want to achieve. The
function of the voltage regulator is to control the voltage given to the Arduino board
and stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and other elements. The AVR
microcontroller Atmega328 laid out on the base comes with built-in boot loader that
sets you free from using a separate burner to upload the program on the board.
Traffic is the movement of people and goods from one location to another. The
movement typically occurs along a specific facility or pathway that can be called a
guide way. It may be a physical guide way, as in the case of a railroad, or it may be
an agreed-upon or designated route, marked either electronically (as in aviation) or
geographically (as in the maritime industry). Movement—excepting pedestrian
movement, which only requires human power—involves a vehicle of some type that
can serve for people, goods, or both. Vehicle types, often referred to as modes of
transportation, can be broadly characterized as road, rail, air, and maritime (i.e.,
water-based).
Traffic evolves because of a need to move people and goods from one location to
another. As such, the movement is initiated because of decisions made by people to
transport themselves or others from one location to another to participate in
activities at that second location or to move goods to a location where they have
higher value. Traffic flows thus differ fundamentally from other areas of
engineering and the physical sciences (such as the movement of electrons in a wire),
because they are primarily governed and determined by laws of human behaviour.
While physical attributes are critical in the operation of all modes (e.g., to keep
4
airplanes in the air), the demand or need to travel that gives rise to traffic is derived
from the desire to change locations.
One of the principal challenges in traffic control is to accommodate the traffic in a

safe and efficient way. Efficiency can be thought of as a measure of movement
levels relative to the objectives for a particular transportation system and the
finances required for its operation. For example, a railroad can be thought of as
efficient if it can accommodate the travel requirements of its customers at the least
cost. It will be thought of as inefficient if an alternative (e.g., a trucking service) can
also meet customer needs but at a lower cost.
Safety, the management of traffic to reduce or eliminate accidents, is the other

critical reason for traffic control. An airline pilot needs to be warned of high winds
at the destination airport just as an automobile driver needs to be warned of a
dangerous curve or intersection ahead. Traffic control has as its principal objective
to manage the movement of people and goods as efficiently and safely as possible.
The dual objectives, however, frequently conflict or, at least, compete. For example,
there are frequent cases in which commercial airlines are held on the ground at their
originating airport until they receive a clearance to land at a destination. The
clearance is given only when the destination airport determines that the number of
airplanes expected to arrive at a particular time is small enough that local air traffic
controllers can assist the plane in landing without overtaxing their human limitations
and compromising safety.
In road traffic, intersections with traffic lights (i.e., green, amber, and red
indications) will often add a separate lane with a lighted green arrow to allow left
turns with no opposing traffic. This frequently results in longer non green periods at
the intersection, causing an increased delay and a reduction in efficiency and
mobility. Traffic control will always be burdened with seeking to satisfy the
frequently conflicting goals of safety and mobility.
Safety is not the exclusive concern of the traffic control community. Nearly every
transportation mode has organizations that regulate operators through a series of
licensing procedures, sanctions for inappropriate operating practices, and
requirements for continuing training to retain certification to operate. Examples
include federal aviation authorities that oversee pilot training (e.g., the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration); road agencies that administer driver’s licenses may exist
at the provincial level (as in Canada) or at the national level (as is more common in
Europe). Transportation safety management is thus accomplished through a complex
set of interactions between different agencies at different levels (e.g., national,
regional or state, and local) using both formal legal requirements and administrative
actions. The following discussion will necessarily focus on safety concerns.

Chapter 2
EMPATHY MAPPING
Understanding the problem of society is one of the biggest challenges for engineering
student as till now they were making project on imaginary ideas. So this canvas was
based on understanding the domains of the problem in broader sense which
emphasized on interacting with the people of our domain area which included more of
casual talk rather than technical session. It focused on making people comfortable in
discussing their problem with us. And this activity was named as Story boarding
canvassing.
To define any User centric problem we need to know the user properly. That was
what this canvas was all about. We thought of so many workers about wireless
monitoring but wanted to go for some workers that mostly remain untouched by
technology but are larger in number. They cover a large mass but are least touched
with technology.
After that the next portion was stakeholders, who are the workers that directly or
indirectly make an impact. After thinking we got so some names.
„Activities‟ was the next portion, in which we had to include the activities that we
had done to obtain information about the topic.
Last and the most interesting part was the „Story Boards‟ which can be called the
board of emotions. It helped us understand the feeling of the worker when he work in
a particular situation in a workshop, that when we build anything for anyone, the
purpose and emotion behind that are equally important. So many stories were striking
to our minds related to the four hacksaw blade and we drafted the given four. As we
were focused on people’s emotion we wrote happy and sad story.
With the help of Infra-Red sensors along with major components Arduino and LEDs
which are used for controlling traffic signals based on the density of the traffic. The
signal timing changes automatically by sensing the traffic density at every junction
accordingly to the density of traffic.

Story Boarding
1. HAPPY: Using our model people will get relief from traffic with the help of our
project with the crowd of the vehicle where is more, will get green signal and
they can easily get pass away.
2. HAPPY: Raghuveer joined Amazon as a delivery boy and his first work was to
deliver the home appliance. Due to the good condition of the highways, he was
able to travel the distance in short period of time and safety. He got appreciation
for his on time delivery.
3. SAD: One day my family was going to attend the marriage function but I met
with the traffic on the middle of the road and we all stuck in that traffic and
became late for the marriage function.
4. SAD: Traffic signals are not working properly so due to it accidents occurs and
there is a long way of traffic jam.

IDEATION
Engineering is after all about helping people through technological solutions,
making processes simpler and less cumbersome. We thought about how workers had
to take care in different working conditions. Then arrived the next portion of finding
possible solutions. Here we had to list all the ways in which the problems of workers
could be solved.
After then we have to create “The Ideation Canvas”. We described activities of people
and situations or locations where they are facing problems in daily life. The basic
purpose of our project is to reduce the traffic collisions, here we used Arduino uno
circuit interfaced with GPS tracking units and video recorder to controlling the traffic
signals by analyzing traffic congestion. This canvas is very helpful to make idea about
our project.

RESAECH PAPER SUMMARY
Automatic Intelligent Traffic Control System:
Harsh Singh Chauhan, Devesh Tiwari, Devashish
Density Based Signal Management in Traffic System with emergency override shows
how the Traffic Light Signal control, including with the implement of Emergency
vehicle get passed through signals. The acquired data from IR Sensors reschedule the
traffic light timing according to the traffic condition for low or high density road
traffic. If the density of the road traffic is high then Maximum density of traffic will
allow maximum default timing for traffic lights. Minimum density of traffic will
allow traffic with minimum timing for traffic lights. If the traffic rate on both side is
Equal or gap within traffic then according to arrival time traffic light signal set to
minimized. Emergency Override can be done by Bluetooth device which keeps green
signal on till the vehicle get passed up through signals. A pedestrian can cross the
road by turning the switch on in the case of emergency. The designed system is
implemented, realized electronically, and tested to ensure complete validation of its
operations and functions. The current design can be promoted by monitoring and
controlling an intersection with double roads. Future improvements can be added such
as pedestrian crossing button, delay timing displays, as well as car accident and
failure modes. The integration of different traffic controllers at several junctions will
be investigated in the future in order to accomplish a complete synchronization. To
study the system performance, traffic data can be recorded and downloaded to
computer platform where statistical data analysis studies could be applied to better
understand the traffic flows between the intersections. Finally, traffic light controller
could be powered by solar power panels to reduce grid electricity consumption and
realize green energy operations.

Density Based Intelligent Traffic Control System Using IR Sensors:

Er. Pramod Sharma, Akanksha Mishra, Kaumudi Singh
A traffic light system had been designed and developed with proper integration of
both the hardware and the software. The infra-red sensors were interfaced with the
microcontroller. This interface is synchronized with the whole process of the traffic
system. For this project, the knowledge of sequential systems, electrical and
electronics applications had been proven. Automatically, this project could be
programmed in any way to control the traffic light model and will be useful for
planning road system.

Chapter 10
CONCLUSION
From our topic we conclude that it will easy to manage traffic jam. An infrared
sensor is used that emits in order to sense some aspects of the surroundings. An IR
sensor can measure the heat of an object as well as detects the motion. The sensors
used in this project IR and photo diodes are in line of sight configuration across the
loads to detect the density at the traffic signal. The density of these vehicles is
measured in three zones i.e., low, medium and high, respectively – based on certain
time duration allotted at respective zones, accordingly.
With field application of this technology the maddening chaos of traffic can be
effectively channelized by distributing the time slots based on the merit of the
vehicle load in certain lanes of multi junction crossing.
The hardware component of our project and the actual functionalities will not have
any potential influence to others’ safety as we did not use any hazardous units or
components in our hardware design. We have also stated the entire process of the
designing phase in our report and clearly stated the issues within our current design
in this report. Moreover, we have provided certain degree of insights into how we
can potentially resolve this issue, which serves as the source for further
improvement. Last but not least, this project is also implemented from the
perspective of promoting it to be an open-source project, which welcomes anyone
interested to modify and upgrade the features with no intentions of discriminations
or exclusions.
