Design and implement a monitoring system of traffic signal using microcontroller devices

Abstract

This project focused on designing traffic signal monitoring tools, based on ideas and concepts developed previously. Authors used the Arduino Nano module with ATmega328P as the microcontroller, which was chosen because it simplifies the scenario of traffic signal anomalies, short messages service (SMS) news content, and time settings. A microcontroller was used to process data from the interference detection result, and processing the SMS content, therefore, it is able to quickly inform the types of traffic signal disruptions. This research highlights the ability to autonomously diagnose traffic signal device systems, especially in its work function, with the intent to detect interference on the device, and provide report via SMS to a monitoring unit that is located under its respective division. Based on result findings it is possible to utilize this development in building an integrated traffic signal monitoring system services, in the form of mobile applications in the near future.
