Abstract

This system introduce the new technologies in automating traffic flow in road construction site. The implementations of the Automated Road Safety Controller System (ARSCS) have capability of mimicking human intelligent for controlling traffic light. Flagman is a very common practice in controlling the traffic flow in two lane road closure. The road users are solely dependent on the signal from the flagman’s as they approach a road construction site [1]. As human factors is always to be questioned especially when they deal with safety of human life’s, many new technologies is being exploit to substitute flagman’s. By implementation new technologies in automating traffic flow in road construction site could possibly eliminate the usage of a conventional flagman [2]. For this system, it consist of two main component which is connected each other wirelessly via communication device which are master control unit and slave unit. There are a types of sensor will be used to enable this control system without man power. Motion sensor will used to detect the presence of vehicle at the warning bulb and make sure all vehicles are out before transition of the traffic light changed. ARSCS will use two display warning bulb as the output. The portable warning bulb can be best utilized in any two lane road closure regardless of working hours and weather conditions. The automated wireless traffic light system can increase safety for the road users by eliminating the need for a human flagman.
