When we drive, we are bound to see road signs. Road signs are intended to provide us with warnings. In most cases, these signs are for our safety. They tell us things such as which way we
can go on a road or what speed we can drive. However, the most important signs we will see on
the road are safety ones which warn us dangerous road conditions or informing us about
evacuation of routes. But these signboards fail sometimes due to harsh atmospheric conditions
like smoke, fog etc. If the driver fails to see the signboard it may cost hu ge even a life. In this
project we propose an advanced traffic sign board system which will replace the conventional
signboard. It will act like a signer. The actual system consist of 2 parts, one is the pole mounted
sign board and the other vehicle in-built board. The pole mounted sign board will be the
transmitter and the vehicle board will be the receiver. Driver will get warnings like `u-turn’,
`deep curve’, `junction’ etc while he is driving. When speed restricted zone is located, speed of
the vehicle is automatically limited.
In the proposed system each po le is equipped with a RFID tag having a serial number. When the
vehicle passes through the area, RFID reader connected to the receiver will decode the ID and
announce the traffic sign details. LCD display is also provided to display traffic signals for the
convenience of driver.
GPS is included so that longitude and latitude of the location can be obtained when vehicle
accident occurs. Thus the vehicle accidents can be sensed and the exact position of vehicle can
be identified through this proposed system
