Project Description: Mumbai, one of the busiest cities in India, faces severe traffic congestion due to its rapidly growing number of vehicles. Long commute times, fuel wastage, and delayed emergency vehicles have become everyday struggles for Mumbaikars. A major issue is the rigid, static road dividers that do not adapt to real-time traffic conditions, causing inefficiency in lane usage. To solve this problem, Team Traffic Dynamics has developed the Automated Lane Divider System (ALDS), a smart and flexible solution designed to optimize road space dynamically.
The ALDS works by automatically adjusting the number of lanes available in each direction based on traffic demand. The system utilizes an Evive board, keypad sensor, and servo motors to create a responsive traffic management system. Traffic police can manually input a password on the keypad sensor, allowing them to control the lane adjustments as needed. The Evive board processes this input and sends signals to the servo motors, which physically move the road dividers, increasing or decreasing lanes in real time.
This innovative system has multiple benefits. It reduces traffic congestion by making better use of existing road space, ensures faster access for emergency vehicles, and minimizes fuel consumption and pollution by reducing the time vehicles spend idling in traffic. The ALDS provides a flexible and scalable solution that can be implemented in cities struggling with traffic inefficiencies. By making roads smarter and more adaptive, this system has the potential to transform urban mobility, making daily commutes smoother and more sustainable.
