WSN Applications: Automated Intelligent Traffic Control System Using Sensors

In this new Era the growing Vehicle population in all developing and developed country calls for a major improvement and innovation in the existing Traffic Signaling systems. The most widely used automated system uses a simple time based system which working on a time interval basis which is now inefficient for random and non uniform Traffic. Advance automated systems in testing use image processing techniques or advance communication system with an intelligent information gathering systems in vehicles to communicate with signal and ask for routing. This might be implementable in developing countries as they are more complex and expensive also. The Concept Proposed in this paper involves use of Wireless sensor network technology to sense presence of Traffic near any circle or junction and then able to route the Traffic based on Traffic availability or we can say density in desire direction. This system does not require any system in vehicles so can be implemented in any Traffic system quite easily with less time and less expensive also. This system uses Wireless sensor networks Technology to sense vehicles and a microcontroller based routing algorithm programmed for excellent Traffic management.
