ABSTRACT
The increase in urban traffic has resulted in traffic congestions, long travel times and increase hazards to pedestrians due to inefficient traffic light controls. These scenarios necessitated the use of new methods in the design of traffic light control for vehicles and pedestrian crossings. In a conventional traffic light controller, the traffic lights change at constant cycle times which are clearly not optimal. The preset cycle time regardless of the dynamic traffic load only adds to the problem. It would be more feasible and sensible to pass more vehicles at the green interval if there are fewer vehicles waiting behind the red lights or vice versa. We proposed the genetic algorithm technology in the traffic control system and pedestrian crossing to provide intelligent green interval responses based on dynamic traffic load inputs, thereby overcoming the inefficiencies of the conventional traffic controllers. The Object- Oriented Research Methodology called Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) was used to analyze and design the study. The Programming language used in developing this application software is Visual basic and Access as the database. The program has the ability to run on any Windows operating system.
