Development of an intelligent traffic control systems using arduino microcontroller

Increasing number of vehicles on the road becomes a concern to road users since it causes massive traffic congestion especially at the junction. It is not only happen in Malaysia, but also around the world. Traffic congestion has contributed to low productivity, pollution and energy losses. In addit...
