Smart Traffic Lighting system

Published on 19 Apr 2022. Written by Amitesh Kumar

Smart traffic lighting project is about sensing the density the traffic on roads and automatically controlling the traffic lights. The traffic lights are to be controlled using the Arduino Board. The IoT project is similar to that used in nowadays smart traffic lights; which will teach you the basics of a traffic lighting system. The project will require some kits and concepts which are as follows: -

SLNOTE

• Arduino board
• IR sensors
• Multicoloured LED lighting system
• Toy cars for testing

These kits will be shipped to you within 24 hours if you registered to the course provided at the Skyfi Labs. This course will provide you with all the basics of this system.

Project Implementation

We will look at all these kits one by one and will know their essentials related to the project.

The Arduino boards are basically controllers which can be used to control the hardware using the simplified programming language. The Arduino programming language is very easy and can easily control the hardware using coding. The Arduino UNO board will be used for this project which fits right for this purpose. As inputs and outputs are important, the board is well-known for its identification capability of input and output signals.

The inputs to the board will be through IR sensor. The IR sensor will be used for the project in order to count the number of cars on the streets and then give data to the controller. The IR sensor should be able to identify the density on the road. The comparison of the density on the road is done with the help of Arduino programming language. The IR sensors are to be well connected with the Arduino board.

Now, the coding will be done on the Arduino IDE which is compatible software for coding the Arduino programming language. The experts at Skyfi Labs will teach the basics of the programming language. The language is well known for manipulating hardware using the software. For testing the system we will build a model which contains the traffic light and some cars toys.

The cars toys will move along the model roads and the IR sensor will be placed on all the corners of the road. Once the cars are kept at one side of the road, the sensor will notice it and notify it to the controller. The signals will be manipulated and then signals will be sent to the traffic light which contains different coloured LED lights.

The project thus is to be tested well and once completed you can also go for bigger projects. The basics will remain the same. This project will teach you many things related to Arduino boards and IR sensors. The system has to be carried well with the help of experts which we at Skyfi Labs provide with the smart traffic lighting system course.

Conclusion

The project will require the developer to have some knowledge about the Arduino UNO board and Arduino IDE software. The system made with proper care will work efficiently and it is very simple to build it.
