A Study on an Enhanced Traffic Control System for Road Vehicles Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

The world's population is growing by every day, so as the population grows, so are the number of cars on the road. Managing traffic is becoming increasingly difficult for those in charge of traffic. The traffic is high at the intersections, which is causing extra problems for emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire engines, and police cars. The traffic on the roads results in time wasted and a rise in pollution levels. Previously, magnetic loop detectors were used to manage traffic, but now we utilize RFID tags for emergency vehicles and RFID readers at intersections. The traffic control system is handled using Raspberry Pi, RFID tags for emergency vehicles, and RFID readers at traffic intersections, as well as a dynamic color change algorithm.
