Walking is a daily activity but walking safely is much more important. This requires an appropriate crosswalk as a part of the safe transportation infrastructure. In this paper, we design and develop a portable smart wireless pedestrian crossing control system to minimize the road accidents while crossing the road. This system manages the traffic automatically and allow the pedestrian, like school children, to cross the road safely and effortlessly. This system also focusing on the blind people to make them cross the road securely. The system involves the concept of smart sensing to detect the presence of pedestrians and in turn, automatically controls the crosswalk traffic lights. This system is installed on either side of the cross road to detect the pedestrian’s presence. The designed system composes of two Arduino microcontrollers, two infrared PIR motion sensors, relays, a buzzer and a bidirectional wireless communication link based on Bluetooth for mitigating wiring installation and transmitting the signal among traffic light units on both roadsides. The system is designed and implemented as a portable LED-based traffic light testbed with a buzzer that indicates the pedestrians to start.
This developed system is tested and validated in a real environment with a 6 m road width on the college campus. According to the obtained results, the system worked effectively and fulfilled the design criteria where the communication between both sides lights is successfully functioning and the PIR sensors can accurately detect the existence of pedestrians. The developed system is cost-effective, energy efficient, easy to install, and maintenance-free. In this system, the buzzer module helps the blind people and senior citizens to know about the pedestrian cross time so that they can easily and safely cross the road.
