DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM
Diploma
INTRODUCTION
This project is about integration of intelligent traffic control system, for the types of collisions, congestions and traffics rules. The examples and perceptive in this project deal primarily with
World computerized traffic control system and some civilized countries.
Traffic light, also known as traffic signal, stop light, traffic lamp, stop and go light, robots or semaphore, are signaling devices positioned at road inspections, pedestrian crossing, and other locations to control competing flows of traffic.
Statement of
the problem Traffic
congestion is an increasing problem in cities
and sub urban spend more of their time
commuting to work, school, shopping, and
social event as well as dealing with traffic
light jambs and accidents. Traffic became
heavy in all directions, more to and from cities as
well as between sub urban
locations. Sub urban business locations required
huge parking lots because employees have to
drive; there were few buses trains, or
trolleys to carry scatter workers to their
work place. The hope of reduced congestion in the sub urban had not been realized; long commutes and traffic
jams could be found everywhere.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Intelligent
Traffic System provides travel opportunities
and additional travel choices for more people
in more ways, wherever they live, work and
play, regardless of age or disability. The aims of
this research work are: - To design
and implement an intelligent traffic control
system. - To develop
a suitable algorithm to implement the
design. - To simulate
the intelligent traffic control using Visual
Basic programming. The first
objective is to make each of the traffic lights
or semaphores smart. That is, aware of the
time of day, basic turn red, green or yellow
rules, and perhaps what traffic looks like in all
directions based upon locally
mounted signals. In achieving these aims, the
following objectives will also be followed: - To design a
simple system that is easily adaptable
to the existing traffic conditions at the
junction, involving a minimum of physical
changes in the intersection. - To provide
the quickest possible clearance to vehicular
and pedestrian traffic in all directions at a
junction. - To a design
flexible artificial intelligence traffic light
system that will take care of changes in the
traffic density and character. - To reduce
the stress of the traffic warder. - To reduce
the occurrence of possible accident. - To verify
the efficacy of the program.
