Title of Project: Traffic sensing and readjustible timer
Domain of Project:
Automation Control
Objective of Project: To ease the present traffic scenario prevalent in India
Problem Statement: Day to day increasing traffic congestion is
overburdening the existing traffic system of India. Fixed duration of traffic signals
irrespective of traffic density on the roads is unable to reduce road rush.
Proposed Solution: Automated timer which senses traffic density and
adjusts itself accordingly. We use a flat top pressure sensors embedded on the
roads which continuously senses the traffic density by showing change in its
resistance value and sends this change to the MCU through the analog channel.
The MCU processes the values using proper algorithms and adjusts the timer
accordingly.
For instance, in the morning hours there is huge rush of schoolbuses and office
goers
