A Density-Based Traffic Light Control System is a smart traffic management solution designed to optimize traffic flow based on the real-time density of vehicles on the road. Instead of following a fixed timing schedule, the system adjusts the traffic light signals based on the volume of traffic at intersections, improving efficiency and reducing congestion.
Traffic Detection: The sensors monitor vehicle density in each lane and send real-time data to the microcontroller.
Signal Adjustment: The microcontroller analyzes the traffic density data and adjusts the duration of green, yellow, and red lights to allow more time for busier lanes.
Dynamic Timing: The system dynamically alters the signal timing to prioritize traffic flow where it’s needed most, reducing delays and improving overall traffic movement.
Improved Traffic Flow: By adjusting the signal duration based on vehicle density, the system minimizes traffic congestion and reduces waiting times.
Energy Efficient: The system can reduce unnecessary signal changes, saving energy as traffic signals are only activated when necessary.
Reduced Pollution: By minimizing idle times and optimizing traffic flow, the system can reduce fuel consumption and vehicle emissions.
Real-Time Adaptability: It adapts to real-time traffic conditions, improving responsiveness compared to fixed-time systems..
