Smart Movable Road Divider for Real-Time Traffic Control and Emergency Vehicle Management

In today’s cities, managing traffic efficiently is a growing challenge due to the rising number of vehicles on roads. One major issue is that traditional road dividers are fixed and don’t adapt to traffic conditions, often causing unnecessary congestion. This project presents a smart solution—a movable road divider system that automatically adjusts lane allocation based on real-time traffic flow. Using IR sensors to detect vehicle density and an ESP32 microcontroller to control servo motors, the divider can shift from one lane to another. Additionally, the system offers remote monitoring through an online dash board. The goal is to reduce congestion, improve emergency vehicle movement, and make traffic systems more adaptive.
