ABSTRACT
 Road Divider is generically used for dividing the Road for
ongoing and incoming traffic. This helps keeping the flow of
traffic; generally there is equal number of lanes for both
ongoing and incoming traffic.
 The problem with Static Road Dividers is that the
number of lanes on either side of the road is fixed. Since the
resources are limited and population as well as number of cars
per family is increasing, there is significant increase in
number of cars on roads. This calls for better utilization of
existing resources like number of lanes available.
 For example, in any city, there is industrial area or shopping
area where the traffic generally flows in one direction in the
morning or evening. The other side of Road divider is mostly
either empty or very underutilized. This is true for peak
morning and evening hours. This results in loss of time for the
car owners, traffic jams as well as under utilization of
available resources.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
 In today’s era, there is continuous and huge amount
of ncrease in the congestion level on public roads
which leads to traffic jam, especially at rush hours.
 Commuters daily face extreme traffic during peak
hours resulting in a delay to reach their destination.
In the morning, during peak hours the traffic on one
side of the road is more compared to opposite side of
the road, same is the situation in evening.
 during peak hours the traffic in one direction is way
more than that coming from the opposite direction,
while the number of lanes available to both sides
remains the same.
 To solve this problem , a prototype model is
successfully implemented to prove the concept.

In recent years, with an ever increasing rate of development in metro cities around the
world, there has been proportional increase in numbers of automobiles on the roads.
Although the number of vehicles using the roads has increased, the static road
infrastructure is almost the same and is unable to cope with changes like congestion,
unpredictable travel-time delays and road-accidents that are taking a serious shape.
Traffic congestion has been one of the major concerns faced by the metropolitan cities
today in spite of measures being taken to mitigate and reduce it. It has emerged as one
of the main challenge for developers in urban areas for planning of sustainable cities.

2. CONTROLLING OF TRAFFIC USING MOVABLE ROAD DIVIDERS

The main aim of this project is reducing the traffic congestion in our daily life. Road Divider is
generically used for dividing the Road for on-going and incoming traffic. This helps keeping the
flow of traffic; generally there is equal width of lanes for both on-going and incoming traffic.
The problem with Static Road Dividers is that the number of lanes on either side of the road is
fixed. Since the resources are limited and population as well as number of cars per family is
increasing, there is significant increase in number of cars on roads. This calls for better
utilization of existing resources like number of lanes available.

Road Divider is generically used for dividing the Road for ongoing and incoming traffic. This
helps keeping the flow of traffic. Generally, there is equal number of lanes for both ongoing
and incoming traffic. For example, in any city, there is industrial area or shopping area where
the traffic generally flows in one direction in the morning or evening. The other side of Road
divider is mostly either empty or under- utilized. This is true for peak morning and evening
hours. This results in loss of time for the car owners, traffic jams as well as underutilization of
available resources. Our idea is to formulate a mechanism of automated movable road divider
that can shift lanes, so that we can have more number of lanes in the direction of the rush. The
cumulative impact of the time and fuel that can be saved by adding even one extra lane to the
direction of the rush will be significant. With the smart application proposed below, we will
also eliminate the dependency on manual intervention and manual traffic coordination so that
we can have a smarter traffic all over the city.
EXISTING WORK
 Commuters daily face extreme traffic during peak hours
resulting in a delay to reach their destination. In the
morning, during peak hours the traffic on one side of the
road is more compared to opposite side of the road, same is
the situation in evening. To tackle this , a prototype model
is implemented which included a technique to solve the
problem by moving road divider using dc motor when the
high density gets detected. The approach used to move the
road divider can be implemented to transfer concrete lane
barriers. It contains 3 IR sensor which detects the traffic
[Link] is responsible to lifts the barrier segments
off the road surface and transfers them over to the other
side of the lane. This reallocates the traffic lanes to
accommodate increased traffic for the currently dominant
direction. These barriers can be linked together with steel
connectors to create a sturdy but flexible safety barrier.
Moveable barriers are in permanent use in cities like
Auckland, Montreal, Canada, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
New York etc.
PROPOSED WORK
 Movable Divider System Consists Of four Parts Input
Section, Controlling Section & administrator section,
and movable Road divider section.
 In input section. We placed 3 IR sensors, IR sensor
continuously monitor traffic density. If density is high
IR sensor pass signals to Controlling section.
 In controlling section, Microcontroller continuously
check for IR sensor signal, if high density detected ,
controller activate Movable Road divider section.
 In movable divider section, as soon as signal pass to
this section L293D gets activated , it Activate divider
motor.& move divider accordingly traffic flow.
 In last section that is in administrator section, traffic
flow will continuously update on user Mobile /Laptop

electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating
from objects in its field of view. They are most often used
in PIR-based motion detectors.
