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 huge 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 pole 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.
