Design and Development of IoT based Sensor for Traffic Management

Abstract

The increasing number of vehicles causes traffic problems at several points in big cities. A traffic management is needed to control the signalized intersection. In traffic management, one important parameter is travel time. In this paper, we develop IoT hardware intended to record the critical information that characterizes the movement of vehicles. Data from the movement of the vehicle will contain information on the position and speed of the vehicle and the recording time. The system is designed and developed by starting from sensor, controller, communication, broker and data logger. The communication protocol used is open source MQTT protocol for communication from device to server.  The results of the design are tested in several streets around city of Bandung, Indonesia. The results are accommodated in a server. The recorded collection of data can be exported as bulk data for further analysis or development of traffic management models. This paper presents the the design and performance of the developed IoT device for traffic data management. succeeded in The continuously sending data of sensor to the Data Logger with a period less than 1s was achieved.
