Low-cost Smart Traffic Management System

Abstract In Ghana and other parts of Africa, most traffic management systems are implemented by the use of a timer at each phase. This method of traffic management is inefficient because equal length of green light is assigned to each lane at the intersection; resulting in long wait times for vehicles behind a traffic light with the red signal on, especially when other lanes are vacant. This project addresses problems such as the one stated in the previous sentence through designs and implementation of a low-cost smart traffic management system. The project is carried out by the use of electri…
