Intelligent Traffic Light System for Dynamic Traffic Management

by Km Akriti Gupta, Biky Chouhan, Bishwajeet Pandey

The Smart Intelligent Traffic Light Control System using Arduino is a microcontroller-based project designed to optimize traffic flow at intersections. Unlike traditional traffic lights that operate on fixed timers, this system uses sensors such as IR or ultrasonic sensors to detect the presence and density of vehicles on each road. Based on real-time data, the Arduino dynamically adjusts the duration of green lights to prioritize roads with heavier traffic, thereby reducing unnecessary waiting time and improving traffic efficiency. This approach not only helps in easing congestion but also contributes to lowering fuel consumption and emissions by minimizing idle time. The system can be further enhanced with features like emergency vehicle detection and pedestrian crossing management for smarter urban mobility solutions.
