New technology for smart traffic lights based on the Arduino microcontroller

Abstract Society has changed immensely due to the revolution in information technology. The question is how this technology can be useful to man. My interest lies in how to apply radar to traffic. People in general relate radar to military matters while the focus here is on traffic accidents. Accidents happen and therefore police and ambulance need to be on site as fast as possible. This master thesis presents a new design with hardware and software combined in one device. The combination is essential in traffic technology. I designed a new and smart traffic light that can be effective in a traffic system. I design, discuss and examine the radar up to the laboratory stage. It is based on the Doppler effect and has a sound sensor that can identify a police car and also detect vehicle speed. The status of the traffic lights can then be changed to give priority to the police car, based on speed limits and other restrictions. Difficulties as well as advantages with the design are discussed.
