Abstract: Pekanbaru still using conventional traffic light control system. Pekanbaru as the capital of Riau Province is predicted  udergo the  increased of urban population by 54.5% in 2025. It is important for Pekanbaru to immediately implement smart and efficient traffic management system, so that traffic congestion can be resolved quickly. This research paper provides a design solution for smart traffic light management (Smart Traffic Control System), based on object detection technology that uses deep learning to detect the number and type of vehicles. The number of vehicle is the basis for determining the green light timer automatically. The Smart Traffic Control System (STCS) is integrated with a web based geographic information system (smart map) that can display the current condition  (picture, the number of vehicle, congestion level) of each STCS location. This integrated system has been tested on a traffic light prototype, using a mini computer and a miniature vehicle. This integrated system is able to detect 9 out of 12 vehicles, and able to send data regularly to the smart map.  Keywords: deep learning; smart mobility; smart traffic control system Abstrak: Pengaturan lampu lalu lintas di Kota Pekanbaru masih dilakukan secara  konvensional. Pekanbaru sebagai ibukota Provinsi Riau diprediksikan akan mengalami peningkatan jumlah penduduk  perkotaan sebesar 54,5% pada tahun 2025. Dengan melihat predikisi ini, penting bagi kota Pekanbaru untuk segera memiliki tata kelola lalu lintas yang cerdas dan efisien agar kemacetan dapat ditanggulangi dengan cepat. Penelitian ini memberikan rancangan solusi untuk tata kelola  lampu lalu lintas cerdas (Smart Traffic Control System), berbasis teknologi object detection  yang menggunakan deep learning untuk mendeteksi jumlah dan jenis kendaraan. Jumlah kendaraan menjadi dasar penentuan timer lampu hijau secara otomatis. Smart Traffic Control System (STCS) terintegrasi dengan sistem informasi geografis berbasis web (smart map) yang secara kontinu menerima informasi kepadatan (gambar terkini, jumlah kendaraan, level kepadatan), kemudian menampilkannya diatas peta Kota Pekanbaru. Solusi sistem terintegrasi ini telah diujikan pada sebuah prototipe lampu lalu lintas, menggunakan komputer mini  dan  miniatur kendaraan. Sistem terintegrasi ini mampu mendeteksi 9 dari 12 kendaraan, dan mampu mengirimkan data secara berkala kepada smart map. Kata kunci: deep learning; smart mobility; smart traffic control system

The traffic lights control system is broadly implemented to track and control the flow of vehicles through the intersection of multiple roads. Nevertheless, the synchronization of traffic light system at adjacent junctions is an intricate issue given the different parameters involved. Existing traffic light control systems do not control many flows approaching the same junctions. This results in traffic jams and congestion at urban areas or major cities with high volume traffic consisting of various types of vehicles. This includes emergency ambulances travelling on the same traffic junction during peak hour traffic. Thus, an enhanced traffic light control system is imperative to provide a smooth and free flow for an ambulance on the way to its destination. The Smart Ambulance Traffic Control System proposed in this paper is an integrated system of traffic light control for emergency ambulance service. The traffic lights can be controlled in a timely and efficient manner every time an emergency ambulance is approaching. The Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is used as an instrument to communicate with traffic lights during traffic congestion. The emergency ambulance driver needs to activate the RFID tag to allow the detection of RFID readers to control the traffic light operation at the upcoming traffic light junctions. The traffic lights in the path of the ambulance are forced to be green to allow the emergency ambulance to pass through the junction with top priority. Immediately after the ambulance has passed the junction, the control system will reset and return to normal operations.


Nowadays, automatic traffic light control is becoming an important requirement for travelers and number of road users especially for emergency service providers such as ambulance drivers, fire fighters etc... Various alternatives have been proposed, but it has certain limitations.One such example is using an RF transmitter mounted on the ambulance which will communicate with the RF receiver mounted on the signal post in the traffic control system. A special algorithm is provided to control the traffic signals automatically by pressing the key provided in the keybord on the ambulance by the driver.But in this case, there is big trouble for car accidents or road accidents, because of automatic adjustment and a large number of vehicles, and there is a problem of delay in first aid service, with these overcrowded roads. This paper describes a solution that is "Intelligent Ambulance with Automatic Traffic Control” which includes the accident detecting, alerting and tracking mechanism with an automatic traffic light controlling system to overcome this delay of first aid service. An ambulance can thereby easily finde a freeway to reach the victim in a minimal time and thereby providing first aid as soon as possible. This is possible by using an RF transmitter on the ambulance which will communicate with the RF receiver mounted on the signal post in the traffic control system. To control the traffic signals automatically, and to move towards the location in minimal time, a specific algorithm is proposed in this paper. Thus, the traffic light gets controlled by the intelligent ambulance itself, in such a way that it could provide free path to the ambulance[1].

Emergency Vehicles (EV) such as ambulances, fire fighting vehicles, Road safety vehicles and other emergency vehicles encounter delays on their missions at traffic light control points due to traffic jams. The direct consequence of these delays results in unwarranted loss of lives and properties.  This research work proposes and implements an improved traffic control system with preference to emergency vehicles leveraging RFID technology and a novel Dynamic Traffic Sequence Algorithm (DTSA). Atmega 328 was used to actualize the novel DTSA, control the RFID and the entire traffic control system. The distance of RFID signal transmitted by the emergency vehicle was determined by physically measuring the distance of clearer signal obtained at various distances from the test bed. MATLAB was used to plot the response time of the RFID, thereby helping in the choice of RFID used. It was observed at 100 meters distance between the RFID transmitter in the emergency vehicle (EV) and the traffic light system, a clearer signal was obtained. Therefore at 100 meters the emergency vehicle will be detected and the traffic system will reset its normal routine to give right of way to the particular lane that the emergency vehicle is detected. Comparing the old and the new system it was observed that in the new system the EV will be 12minutes faster than the EV in the old system. From the result obtained, the RFID best suited for this application is active RFID. The results obtained proved that the system will effectively mitigate and almost completely eradicate the delay encountered by emergency vehicles at traffic control points.  The system will be deployed in any many cities in Nigeria that have traffic control systems installed.


In India, the concept of smart city has evolved since last few years. Smart city includes smart electricity distributions, smart parking, smart lighting on streets, smart water distribution, smart drainage system, smart pipe gas system, smart traffic control system etc. All smart systems listed need smart use of technical solution so that all systems will play critical role in making city as smart. As far as smart traffic control is concerned, there were few solutions suggested and implanted such as sensor with CCTV, camera with IR sensor and tags etc. The technical solution may include software, hardware, communication models, networking, usage of data and of-course data analytics. As large amount of data may be generated by the objects/components involved in the system, it must be analyzed properly. The data may be in structured or un-structured format. In this paper, smart traffic control system with efficient algorithm has been proposed with data analytics to control traffic, which controls the timing of the signal dynamically. At a junction, there is need to control the traffic and signal timing such that air and noise pollution also will be monitored and controlled. In this model, IoT system has been proposed with ultrasonic sensors to control the traffic. The signal timing will be dynamically monitored and adjusted with traffic density within a region. This will give solution to control, monitor the traffic at every signal in a city
