Smart Traffic Light Intersection Monitor System
Overview / Goal / Purpose
In this project, we aim to build a smart traffic light intersection monitor system. This system, enabled by a distance sensor, will be able to detect vehicles speeding or running red lights. And upon detection, it will trigger a buzzer alarm and a motor connected to our trap door. In a real-world scenario, this system could reduce the workload of law enforcement and benefit the safety of the road. Also at this moment, we are just considering a simple one-way, one-lane system, depending on our progression speed we will try to make it compatible with more complex traffic stop systems.
