INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC PRE-EMPTIVE SYSTEM AND FLOW CONTROLLER

ABSTRACT With increase in vehicles population in cities and conversion of ruler India into urban towns traffic related problems are rising in alarming way in India. Not only in India but a problem exists in entire world including developed countries like U.S.A (in all major cities newyork, wastion, boston etc.), U.K (in London). To tackle these problems there is need for intelligent traffic pre-emptive system and flow controller so we are proposing intelligent traffic pre-emptive system and flow controller in this proposal based on ATxmega128A1. Design and application are explained in next few sections.

INTRODUCTION Traffic jams in the city cost Delhiites Rs 10 crore and the government exchequer Rs 1.5 crore per day, reveals a survey by Centre for Transforming India (CTI). Its not only Delhi but all major cities are facing traffic related challenges. India inquired a loss of Rs 600bn ($10.8bn) a year due to congestion, slow speed of freight and waiting time at traffic signal, toll plazas and check points.

By properly designing junctions: Junction in cities can be designed in such a way that traffic of city can be scatted in all direction equally. But above solution can be implemented only in new developing parts of a city but redevelopment of junction in old parts of city is very costly because lot of infrastructure is need to be redeveloped. Using intelligent traffic pre-emptive system and flow controller: System uses a microcontroller to take decision how traffic should be allowed to move for efficient utilization of time. System can be installed in any place easily do not require much space but required promising hardware and carefully designed software.

INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC PRE-EMPTIVE SYSTEM AND FLOW CONTROLLER Traffic pre emptive system help to evacuate emergency vehicles like (Ambulance, Fire brigad trucks, and rescue team vehicles) and defence related operations so no delay is faced by these critical sectors. And traffic flow convertor to intelligently guide traffic Thus, system can be divided into two parts Traffic flow controller Traffic pre-emptive system

INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC FLOW CONTROLLER Traffic movement across a junction can be made fast by intelligent flow controller. System work on simple algorithm it scan all road meeting junction (near signal).System detect vehicle crowd on each road around junction and vehicles on most crowded route is allowed to move first so number of vehicles waiting for green signal reduce significantly.

To monitor traffic any transducer or a camera can be used. Each vehicles crossing detector increase counter and according to status of number of vehicles signal is switched.

Flow chart: Start

Turn on vehicle detector

Wait for vehicles to pass

Increase counter

Compare crowed on each road

Turn signal green corresponding to max crowded road

Check status of each road Using last few minute data

If vehicles on particular road wait for more than 7 minute then signal corresponding to that road is given highest priority.

TRAFFIC PRE EMPTIVE SYSTEM Traffic signal pre-emption is defined as the transfer of normal operation of a traffic control signal to a special control mode of operation. Pre-emptive control is designed and operated to give the most important classes of vehicles the right of way at and through a signal. This right of way is usually achieved with a green indication on the approach of the vehicle requesting pre-emption. Pre-emptive control may be given to trains, boats, emergency vehicles, and light rail transit. It is commonly used for fire engines because the size of their vehicles makes them less able to move through traffic without the aid of pre-emption. Signal pre-emption controls the movement of traffic that is of greater importance than general vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Pre-emptive control is necessary to avoid collisions (e.g., trains versus automobiles) and/or give right of way to vehicles in an emergency situation (e.g., fire engines responding to an emergency).

Several types of technologies are available to detect vehicles requesting pre-emption , and include the use of light (strobe), sound (siren), pavement loops, radio transmission, and push buttons approaching an intersection, to request immediate service (green indication from the signal). Traffic Pre-emptive system can be designed on microcontroller based system which contact approaching vehicle any radio (zigbee is preferred due to auto healing and auto routing ability) and clear the road before vehicle reach junction. Step with occurs in series for pre-emption of road when emergency vehicle reach junction are explained in flow graph on next page.
