Mechatronics-Based Advance Traffic Control System

This paper presents an advanced traffic control system that uses mechatronics principles combining mechanical and electrical components for precise control, a multi-component system capable of generating electricity, traffic barrier switching, stop signal using violation and real-time traffic signal matching and solving a variety of traffic management challenges The mechatronic structure of the system includes sensors, actuators and control algorithms for monitoring and controlling traffic. It has a unique electrical system that harvests energy from passing vehicles to power the system itself and other traffic. The system also incorporates a new type of barrier reversal mechanism that can safely divert vehicles out of the roadblock. Intuitively compatible with traffic signal systems, the system dynamically changes timing to activate real-world barriers and allow vehicles to maneuver on red lights well
