Abstract: This paper presents an intelligent real-time adaptive traffic signal control system using Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor-based technologies. The system utilizes IR sensors to detect traffic density across multiple lanes and an RFID module to identify emergency vehicles. An ESP32 microcontroller processes the real-time data and dynamically controls traffic signals, ensuring efficient traffic flow. Unlike conventional fixed-time systems, the proposed system adapts signal timing based on current road conditions. The system employs a weighted priority-based control algorithm that considers parameters such as traffic density, waiting time, and emergency status. Each lane is assigned a priority score, and the lane with the highest score is given the green signal. This approach minimizes congestion and reduces unnecessary waiting time. Additionally, IoT integration enables real- time data monitoring and visualization through cloud platforms, improving system transparency and control. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system significantly enhances traffic efficiency by reducing average delay and improving response time, especially during emergency situations. The system provides a cost-effective and scalable solution for smart traffic management and can be further improved by integrating advanced technologies such as AI-based prediction and camera-based vehicle detection in future developments.
