Abstract:

Managing traffic well is a big problem in cities today, where more cars on the road cause traffic jams and delays.  The goal of this project is to design and build a real-time embedded traffic controller that works by scheduling tasks based on priority.  The system has an embedded microcontroller that uses sensors to keep an eye on traffic density and change signal timings based on what is happening in real time.  Lanes with more cars or emergency vehicles get priority, which keeps traffic moving smoothly and cuts down on wait times.  The proposed system improves traffic management, makes roads more efficient, and uses less fuel by combining real-time processing with smart decision-making.  The design shows how embedded systems and priority-based algorithms can be used to make smart, adaptable, and energy-efficient traffic control systems.
