Problem Statement

Lack of technology-that can automatically control the traffic lights which is

dependent on the load of each road segment of an intersection.

Absence of technology-that can monitor the load of a road segment of an

intersection.

Manual controlling of traffic lights-is the only option when an unbalanced load in a
road segment of an intersection occur.

System Design

System Module

 Motion sensor module – This module is used to monitor the distance and the
load of vehicles of a road segment.
 Arduino Mega – This will serve as the microcontroller of this project. It will
be the brain of this project which connects all the modules into one.
  Calculator – To calculate the exact time that will be given to a road
segment of an intersection.
 Traffic lights – Indicates whether the vehicles should stop or go.
 Timer – Displays the time to go or stop.

Objectives
General Objectives

To create a smart traffic light controller that can automatically give specific
time of go signal to a road segment depending on its load.
Specific Objectives
To design a type of motion sensor that can accurately monitor the load of a road
segment of an intersection.
To place multiple motion sensor modules on each road segment on an
intersection, this is connected to the arduino and it will be used to monitor the
load of a road segment.

To create a formula that will be used to produce the exact go time of a road
segment of an intersection by using only the load per segment as its component.

To design a program for the arduino to control every module needed in this
project.
