An Affordable Density-based Traffic Management System

Abstract Traffic management systems at road intersections of most African cities is based on fixed timings where equal length of green light is assigned to each lane at the intersection. This method of traffic management is inefficient because it causes unnecessarily long waiting times for vehicles at the intersections especially during periods when some lanes have few or no vehicles passing through them. In this project, an affordable density based traffic management system is designed and implemented. This is achieved by selecting components that are low cost, consume low amounts of power an…
