Intelligent Traffic Signal Controller using RFID

Computer Engineering

Today one of the most critical issues of the road is Traffic management. Traffic Signals play an important role in the traffic management. The existing traffic signals follow the predetermined sequence. So these signal lights are called static traffic lights. These Traffic lights are not capable to count the number of vehicles and the priority of the vehicles on intersection point. As a result some vehicles have to wait even there is no traffic on the other side. The proposed RFID traffic control avoids problems that usually arise with standard traffic control systems, especially those related to image processing and beam interruption techniques. This RFID technique deals with a multi- vehicle, multilane, multiroad junction area. It provides an efficient time management system in which a dynamic time schedule is worked out in real time for the passage of each traffic column. The vehicles like Ambulance and Fire Brigade are also stuck in traffic and waste their valuable time. The proposed system provides quality of service to emergency vehicles and improves the accuracy of Automatic Traffic Light Violation Detection system as well as helps to trace out the stolen vehicle’s using RFID.
