Real Time Intelligent Traffic Light System

with the increasing vehicle ratio on our roads, a lot of factors such as pollution, time constraints and environmental factors need to be addressed. One main issue to be addressed is traffic congestion during the peak hours. This issue affects drivers in numerous ways including loss of productive working hours by lining up in traffic queue. It also leads to loss of natural resource such as fossil fuel used by the vehicle engine while the car is running but lining up in traffic. In this paper, we propose an intelligent sensor-based traffic light control system. To analyze and compare performance, the system was implemented in MATLAB/SIMULINK and simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and high accuracy of the proposed intelligent traffic light system.
