Traffic Light Sensing through Digital Automation in Vehicles

Abstract

When a driver/rider will be moving its vehicle, automatically during a traffic signal or when he will encounter with a traffic signal he will get a message in its digital screen (LCD) about the current status of the signal within a range of 200metres (0.2KM).This device or prototype will also diminish the colour blindness effects in humans easily and vehicles can easily see the current status of the signal by sitting in their own vehicles. This prototype will also help in maintaining the vehicle's speed with the help of a piston fixed to the brake lever to that particular vehicle which will help for quenching the prone accidents records for areas prone to accidents.

In this prototype, we are using the of “low power Wi-Fi radiations equipment’s” such as ZigBee or ant+ or en-ocean, keeping in concern about the harmful effects of radiations through Wi-Fi. The range of our prototype will be max of 150-200 meters. The signals will be received by the central receiver and then signals will be transmitted by the sub-receivers to the receivers installed in vehicles (including heavy load vehicles).

All the low power Wi-Fi devices installed in vehicles and in other parts will be capable of transmitting and receiving. The signals will be transmitted to different directions (N, S, W&E) as the vehicles locations. With the advances in wireless communication and mobile computing, a future infrastructure less elf-organizing traffic information system, where vehicles can form a network for exchanging traffic information among them, will soon be realized.
