Automated Traffic Lights This project implements an automated traffic light system designed to optimize vehicle flow at a roundabout. By dynamically adjusting signal durations based on traffic volume in each lane, it prioritizes heavily congested areas to reduce waiting times and enhance overall efficiency. The model serves as a simplified approach for simulating traffic management scenarios.

Features Dynamic signal adjustment based on traffic volume. Prioritization of congested lanes to improve throughput. Simplified implementation for easy testing and adaptation. Installation Ensure you have Python 3.x installed on your system. Clone the repository: bash Copy code git clone https://github.com/kirogi97/automated-traffic-lights.git cd automated-traffic-lights Install required dependencies: bash Copy code pip install -r requirements.txt Usage Run the traffic light optimization model: bash Copy code python main.py Customize traffic parameters in the code to simulate different scenarios. Future Improvements Integration with real-world data: Incorporate live traffic data from sensors or cameras. Multi-lane support: Extend the model to handle multiple lanes and intersections. Advanced algorithms: Use machine learning models for more adaptive and predictive traffic management. Visualization tools: Add graphical interfaces to display simulations and outputs.
