Traffic problems nowadays are increasing because of the growing number of vehicles and the limited resources provided by current infrastructures. On intersecting roads, huge number of vehicles leading to congestion and heavy traffic occurs. Traditional traffic controls (warning signs, stop signs, etc.) are used in most areas but these are sometimes inadequate to address the problem. Since the expansion of the traffic network is no longer a socially attainable solution, the existing control

This system will have multifunctional operations. The system will firstly measure the traffic density at different signals and accordingly change the time delays for traffic lights viz. the side at which the traffic is high the signal will remain green for more time. Secondly it will also communicate with the adjacent junction signal. Both the signals will collectively manage the traffic depending on the density.
