Effectively Utilization of Road Divider for Organized Vehicular Traffic using IoT
|
Road Divider is generically used for dividing the Road for ongoing and incoming traffic. This helps in keeping the flow of traffic; generally there is equal number of lanes for both ongoing and incoming traffic. The problem with Static Road Dividers is that the number of lanes on either side of the road is fixed. Since the resources are limited and population as well as number of cars per family is increasing day by day at 1.2% , there is significant increase in number of cars on roads. This calls for better utilization of existing resources like number of lanes available. In this paper we are aiming is to formulate a mechanism of automated road divider that can shift lanes, so that we can have more number of lanes in the direction of heavy traffic. The cumulative impact of the time and fuel that can be saved by adding even one extra lane to the direction of the rush will be significant.
