Traffic congestion is one of the main problems in transportation sector and it causes a lot of drawbacks to public. The traffic light system is used to reduce the level of occurring traffic congestion. Generally, the available traffic light systems use a fixed time setting. This old traffic control system is no longer able to manage the ever-changing traffic conditions effectively and efficiently, causing a long queue of vehicles. To overcome this problem, a traffic light control system that can adapt to actual conditions of road density and can run automatically is offered. This system utilizes Google Map API as a road density data source. The result of this study is a traffic control system that can adjust the green light time duration based on the obtained density values and density trends, simulation of this adaptive system as well as simulation results analysis. A prototype of this adaptive control system was also produced in this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
