Aplicação da inteligência artificial no desenvolvimento de um semáforo inteligente para os cruzamentos da cidade de Maputo

Abstract

According to the national statistics institute, in Mozambique and worldwide, there has been a rapid increase in the importation and use of automobiles. As a result, traffic problems have increased in recent years and the current traffic light controller has limitations because it uses a predefined hardware that does not have the flexibility of real-time modification. Due to the fixed intervals of green, orange and red time the waiting time is long. This paper aims to present the development of a traffic light control, using artificial intelligence, that improves traffic organization by regulating the traffic light opening times according to the flow of vehicles, in order to reduce vehicular delay as much as possible. Compared to the fixed-mode traffic light controller, this new system is more efficient and flexible.
