Abstract

Road traffic jams continue to remain major problem in most cities around the world. Due to poorly planned road networks, a common outcome in many developing regions is the presence of small critical areas which are common hotspots for congestion, poor traffic management around these hotspots potentially results in lengthwise traffic jams. This project able to give choices to the rider or driver in taking an alternate congestion free route and to avoid being stuck in the traffic jam. This helps in reducing congestion at junction. The main purpose of this project is to design a system that can detect and give alert to rider or driver to avoid the traffic congestion at junction. This project can be implemented in the lanes and junctions which carry heavy traffic. Metal is sensor is placed on road to monitor the traffic congestion. At each junction a radio frequency (RF) module will be used along with LCD screen at receiver circuit to display the message. When congestion is detected by metal sensor, PIC controller and the message will be displayed on the respective LCD screen. Thus the rider or the driver is alerted to the congestion condition beforehand and able to divert his way to non-congestion road. This will help to reduce congestion. Analysis was conducted in outdoor and results shows that the system able to function at maximum distances of 60 meters. That is proofed that this project was successfully designed and implemented.
