ABSTRACT

Traffic congestion problem is a phenomena which contributed huge impact to the transportation system in country. This causes many problems especially when there are emergency cases at traffic light intersections which are always busy with many vehicles. A traffic light controller system is designed in order to solve these problems. This system was designed to operate a 3-way traffic control and give priority to emergency vehicles based on RFID sensor and arduino microcontroller. The emergency mode is triggered by pressing a switch which give a digital signal to the system to stop the traffic flow of the three lines so that the emergency vehicle can pass. This system will reduce accidents which often happen at the traffic light intersections because of other vehicle had to huddle for given a special route to emergency vehicle. As the result, this project successful analyzing and implementing the wireless communication; the RFID transmission in the traffic light control system for emergency vehicles. The prototype of this project is using the RFID transmission and function with the sequence mode of traffic light when emergency vehicles passing by an intersection and changing the sequence back to the normal sequence before the emergency mode was triggered.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0                                                        INTRODUCTION
Many countries in the world are facing the problem at traffic light intersection that causes accident between emergency vehicle and other public vehicle. The traffic control system in Nigeria specifically has not been equipped with appropriate method when emergency case occurs. This will cause the emergency vehicles such as ambulances difficult to reach the destination on time because of the traffic congestion. Moreover, the situation is getting worse when emergency vehicles have to wait for other vehicles to give way at intersections with traffic lights. This causes a delay of time and may affect the emergency case. Besides, the collisions with other vehicles from other direction might occur at intersections when emergency vehicles had to override the red traffic lights. All these difficulties faced by emergency vehicles can be avoided using this traffic light control system based on radio frequency.
1.1                                         BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
Traffic lights, developed since 1912, are signaling devices that are conceived to control the traffic flows at road intersections, pedestrian crossings, rail trains, and other locations. Traffic lights consist of three universal colored lights: the green light allows traffic to proceed in the indicated direction, the yellow light warns vehicles to prepare for short stop, and the red signal prohibits any traffic from proceeding [1].
Nowadays, many countries suffer from the traffic congestion problems that affect the transportation system in cities and cause serious dilemma. In spite of replacing traffic officers and flagmen by automatic traffic systems, the optimization of the heavy traffic jam is still a major issue to be faced, especially with multiple junction nodes [2]. The rapid increase of the number of automobiles and the constantly rising number of road users are not accompanied with promoted infrastructures with sufficient resources. Partial solutions were offered by constructing new roads, implementing flyovers and bypass roads, creating rings, and performing roads rehabilitation.
However, the traffic problem is very complicated due to the involvement of diverse parameters. First, the traffic flow depends on the time of the day where the traffic peak hours are generally in the morning and in the afternoon; on the days of the week where weekends reveal minimum load while
Mondays and Fridays generally show dense traffic oriented from cities to their outskirts and in reverse direction respectively; and time of the year as holidays and summer.
Secondly, the current traffic light system is implemented with hard coded delays where the lights transition time slots are fixed regularly and do not depend on real time traffic flow. The third point is concerned with the state of one light at an intersection that influences the flow of traffic at adjacent intersections. Also, the conventional traffic system does not consider the case of accidents, road works, and breakdown cars that worsen traffic congestion. In addition, a crucial issue is related to the smooth motion through intersections of emergency vehicles of higher priorities such as ambulances, rescue vehicles, fire brigade, police, and VIP persons that could get stuck in the crowd. Finally, the pedestrians that cross the lanes also alter the traffic system.
The conventional traffic system needs to be upgraded to solve the severe traffic congestion, alleviate transportation troubles, reduce traffic volume and waiting time, minimize overall travel time, optimize cars safety and efficiency, and expand the benefits in health, economic, and environmental sectors. This paper proposes a simple, low-cost, and real time smart traffic light control system that aims to overcome many defects and improve the traffic management.

1.2                                                  PROBLEM STATEMENT
It has been discovered that the traditional traffic system doesn't consider the case of accidents, road works, and breakdown cars that worsen traffic jam. additionally, an important issue is said to the graceful motion through intersections of emergency vehicles of upper priorities like ambulances, rescue vehicles, fire brigade, police, and VIP persons that would grind to a halt within the crowd. Whenever there is an emergency on a highway such as accident, emergency cars tend to break the rule of traffic light in such area or line, and this leads to accident. This system was designed to be operated when it received signal from emergency vehicles based on RFID transmission and used of ardunio microcontroller to stop the traffic flow of the other two lines in favour of emergency vehicle whenever emergency mode was triggered. This system will reduce accidents which often happen at the traffic light intersections because of other vehicle had to huddle for given a special route to emergency vehicle.

1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The project is therefore aimed at building a prototype of a 3-way traffic light control circuit with emergency consideration system. The main objective of the study includes:

  • To reduce accident caused by emergency vehicles on the highway.
  • To investigate the practicality of the theoretical knowledge about  components to be used.
  • To experiment on the compatibility of the working relation between components to be used.
  • To investigate the extent to which the design and construction of the control unit can be useful to mankind.
  • To investigate the immediate usefulness of the control system as substitute to traffic wardens.

1.5                                           PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
At many of our busiest street and highway intersections, there are traffic lights - green for a go, yellow or orange for caution as the lights change, red for stop. Primarily, the purpose is simply to facilitate the safe movement of cars, avoiding collisions.

1.6                                      SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
The project design work signifies a lot in modern industrial electronics. This design that replaced the manually used agent which is the traffic warden positioned at different traffic junctions.
In most developed towns in Nigeria, this system is employed at every T-junction, so that traffic jam or hold up will be highly controlled and also accidents at this junction are highly minimized.

1.7                                                 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
Traffic light control systems are widely used to monitor and control the flow of automobiles through the junction of many roads. The scope of this work covers the building of this device which involves the use of three major electronics hardware –RFID module and arduino microcontroller. RFID modules controls the emergences priority functions whilst an aurduino accepts the command from these sensors through a programme  and gives an output which leads to the full operation of the system.

1.8                                   ADVATAGES OF THE PROJECT

  • An intelligent 3-way traffic control signal with emergency priority provides an orderly movement of traffic.
  • They help in reducing the frequency of an accident of some special nature i.e. of right angles accidents.
  • They intercept heavy traffic to allow other traffic to cross the road intersection safety.
  • They provide authority to the drivers to move with confidence.
  • They control the speed of vehicles on main as well as on secondary roads.

1.9                                           LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

Cost of Traffic Signals: One of the important of traffic signals is the cost, especially when a less expensive stop sign will do. The cost of installing and maintaining a traffic signal varies, depending on the state. This device is only to be used in three-Lane traffic intersection

1.10                                                   METHODOLOGY
Priority was given to the nature of the junction and how far away they are at different seasons of the year. A lot of design research was carried out on traffic lighting system. Data books were consulted to make the most suitable choice of components at the most reasonable cost.

After the design, a market survey was conducted and some components used in the design were not obtainable in the market. Hence, alternative components had to be used and the circuit redesigned. The subsequent stage involves physically realizing the design work, constructing and packaging the entire circuitry on the frame. Finally, he work was given a fine finish and tested.
