Development of a network-enabled traffic light system

A traffic light, traffic signal, or stop light is a signalling device that used universal colour system, positioned at a road intersection, pedestrian crossing, or other location in order to indicate when it is safe to drive, ride, or walk. This project is about developing a traffic light System based on Raspberry Pi that can be operated via local area network (LAN). This new concept will enable traffic officer to reconfigure the traffic light timing and also control the traffic manually, The novel idea in this project that the system could be operated remotely using a computer or Smartphone. This novel concept are accomplished by using an affordable Raspberry Pi microprocessor which available in the market and recently becomes very popular for remote monitoring application. From this study we demonstrate how this microcontroller system could be integrated and programmed for online monitoring system such as a basic traffic light as a model or pilot studies However, the same system could also be used for many other applications where online remote monitoring does matter.
