Design and Implementation of IoT-enabled Movable Road Divider for Vehicular Traffic Control

Abstract

Road dividers are widely used to separate continuous and incoming traffic on road. This is useful for maintaining traffic flow. In this case, there are equal numbers of lanes for incoming and continuous traffic. However, in specific zones, such as industrial or shopping zones, traffic generally flows in one direction in the early morning or late at night. There is nothing or no use on the other side of the road. It results in lost time for the general population and crowded driving conditions. We intend to construct a clever roadway divider, possibly as far as a robotic street divider that moves the path to coordinate the surge in rush hour gridlock. This type of traffic framework component saves both time and fuel. Based on the traffic in the specific bearing, it may contain one more path. Manual dependency and manual traffic relation are reduced with the more intelligent application intended beneath. This proposal of smart traffic is worked in low, medium, and higher density in rush hour jam will be displayed in IOT server in graph diagram. IoT refers to the Internet of Things, which is where true digitalization enters the picture. Sensors and Arduino boards are used. Sensors are installed on the dividers to detect traffic movement, which is then transmitted to the web via the Wi-Fi module. A graph chart will be used by the IoT server to represent the traffic density. It offers a more comprehensive remedy for the traffic issue.
