This report details the development of a prototype system designed to manage traffic at intersections using smart technology. The main goal of the project is to create a system capable of detecting vehicles and managing traffic signal lights in real time. In the final version, the system will use sensors installed on a device to detect vehicles and adjust traffic lights accordingly. At the prototype stage, however, the focus is on a simplified model where traffic lights are controlled using an Arduino or PCB. In this setup, digital counters simulate traffic by recording the number of vehicles on each road.

The physical environment we created for this prototype replicates a typical intersection. Traffic lights change based on the counts from these digital counters, which helps us understand how traffic signals can be dynamically managed. This hands-on approach provides a clear demonstration of how such a system can operate and lays a solid foundation for future developments. Ultimately, the aim is to enhance traffic management and fleet efficiency by integrating smart technology that can respond to real-time traffic conditions, reducing congestion and improving the flow of vehicles.
