The Simulation and Prototyping of a Density-Based Smart Traffic Control System for Learning Purposes

Abstract

<span> With the tremendous technological progress and the widespread use of a variety of technologies, we note how smart cities are providing services efficiently by using technologies. The aim of this project is to build a Smart Traffic Control System (STCS) to facilitate and optimize traffic flow, minimize traffic congestion, and reduce the waiting time by detecting the density on each street. This work has been carried on four phases. Firstly, collecting data by a questionnaire and we received 331 responses. Secondly, using Proteus simulation. Thirdly, building a low fidelity prototype, and fourthly: building the STCS model by using hardware (Arduino tools) and software (Arduino Software IDE). Finally, we learned how to build a system and we recommend using such a system in busy roads to reduced congestion and making traffic flow more efficient.</span>

Comparative Study of Traditional, Simulated and Real Online Remote Laboratory: Student's Perceptions in Technical Training of Electronics

“…In [13], Rutten et al develop an online PHET site (for Physics Education Technology). The most innovative aspect of PHET lies in the possibility of interacting directly with physical concepts and virtual devices, the main qualities of which are to encourage students to use them with a minimum of framing to explore physical phenomena [14,15].…”
