Intelligent Traffic Control at Intersection Based upon Real-Time Vehicle Detection

Abstract:

A new method of traffic control based upon real-time number of the vehicles at the intersection was pulled forward. Serial vehicle detectors were used to detect the number of the vehicle waiting to pass through the intersection. One or more control boxes were used to control the traffic lights according to real traffic condition and transreceived data between itself and the detectors. The information transmission between the detectors and the controllers is based upon 2.4G ISM band. Arithmetic on the system operation, which took the pedestrians and the situation of excessive vehicles into account, is introduced.
