SMART TRAFFIC SIGNAL MANAGEMENT
USING AI
AI
INTRODUCTION
• Conventional traffic control methods- fixed signal timers
at the intersection
• Manual control system- requires significant manpower
• Fixed-phase traffic lights don’t adapt to real-time traffic
conditions
• Demand varies- green time is wasted or a queue is formed
• A dynamic road traffic signal control system using artificial
intelligence
• Traffic flow is optimized by adjusting signal timings based on
real-time traffic data lowering
unwanted delays, reducing congestion and waiting time

• Proposed adaptive system consistently outperforms current static
system
• Performance superiority observed across various traffic
distribution scenarios
• Marked increase in efficiency with the proposed system
• Conclusive evidence that the proposed system, utilizing vehicle-
actuated traffic signal lights, is superior to the conventional
system

Proposed system in
Changanassery
Maximum Green Time per Phase (G) = 35 seconds
Lost Time per Phase (L) = 2 seconds (typically used to account for
the transition time or delays)
Amber Time per Phase (A) = 2 seconds
Phase Duration=35 s+2s+2 s=39s
Total Cycle Time=4×39 s=156 s
Thus, the maximum cycle time for the traffic signal, considering the
given parameters, is calculated as 156 seconds for our site which
currently is 120s.

Smart Traffic Light System (STLS)
• In this system, Webcams are positioned on either side of the road alongside
four traffic lights.
• An Arduino Microcontroller oversees the camera, tallying the vehicle count
as they traverse the road.
• Signal adjustments occur when the camera detect traffic congestion.
• The system operates across three distinct cases, outlined as follows:
17/11/202 DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING 28

Smart Traffic Light System (STLS)
Case 1: If there are no vehicles present on the road then light is (Red), until
vehicles are arrived

Smart Traffic Light System (STLS)
Case 2: If there is varying number of the traffic density at signals, the
system changes the priority of traffic light (Green) for the road that have the
highest density
17/11/202 DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING 30

Smart Traffic Light System (STLS)
Case 3: If all roads exhibit equal density, the
system activates a sequential arrangement
between them, allowing it to operate normally
by controlling the signals one after the other.

• AI can analyze real-time traffic data from cameras to optimize traffic signal
timings, reducing congestion
• AI-powered cameras can detect dangerous driving behaviors, accidents, or
pedestrians in crosswalks, enabling quicker responses
• Smart traffic control systems can decrease vehicle idling time, leading to lower

CONCLUSION
• Proposed system dynamically adjust green signal duration based on traffic density
at signal allocating longer green signal to direction with higher traffic volume.
• Minimize delay, reduce congestion leading to lower fuel consumption and pollution
• Simulation indicates improvement over current system in term of number of
vehicles crossing intersection
• Through integration of YOLO with a camera system prototype effectively detects
