HEALTHY TRAFFIC

GUI frame for traffic light operation.

Inspiration

The need of a simple, portable, architecture neutral software prototype for easy operation of traffic lights enabling healthy management of traffic, is what inspired the project Healthy Traffic.

What it does

The project, Healthy Traffic, is a Java program that provides a GUI window for manual operation of traffic lights. The GUI consists of a frame containing two pannels. The lower pannel contains three buttons named red, yellow and green. At the instance of pressing a button the corresponding signal colour, that is, red, yellow or green appears bright in the upper pannel. Thus, it provides a simple user interface for operation of traffic lights for healthy management of road traffic.

How we built it

This project is built with Java programming language in an object oriented approach, with the features such as Abstract Window Toolkit(AWT), swing and event handling. It is built with the packages and components from java.awt, javax.swing and java.awt.event . The GUI is designed using JFrame, JPannels, JButtons and AWT Graphics Class.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Healthy Traffic, is a portable and architecture neutral software, built taking advantage of the features of java programming. Hence this software can be deployed in a machine/platform having the java interpreter unique for the machine/platform.

What's next for Healthy Traffic

The software prototype of Healthy Traffic can be developed to be included in a traffic light system. This project can be further developed to enable automatic traffic light management. Further, traffic management can be made highly efficient by incorporating the latest technologies of computer vision and artificial inteligence, by which traffic can be detected by the machine, and time is allocated to each lane appropriately according to the traffic on the lanes.
