Smart Zebra Crossing with Smart Street-Light

This research presents a prototype of a smart street and zebra crossing system using Arduino, designed to improve road safety and energy efficiency. The system integrates multiple sensors and actuators such as Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs), Infrared (IR) sensors, DC motors, servo motors, seven-segment displays, and LED traffic lights. The LDR sensor automates street lighting based on ambient light levels, conserving energy. The IR sensor detects pedestrians and activates DC motors to deploy sliding zebra crossings and servo motors to operate safety barriers, preventing accidents. A seven-segment display shows traffic countdown timers, while LEDs display traffic signal status. The system is cost-effective, scalable, and suitable for urban infrastructure upgrades. An automatic zebra crossing is an essential technology for enhancing pedestrian safety on busy roads. In today’s world in every 4 minute an accident happens. This system is designed to reduce these accidents that happen while crossing the road. This project proposes a smart zebra crossing system that utilizes DC and Servo motors, an Arduino UNO microcontroller, and ICs without the use of sensors. Arduino UNO controls all the components, DC Motor controls the zebra lines for sliding, Servo Motor controls the gates, LCD is used to display the time, Traffic LED is used to show the traffic signal, Buzzer is used to provide real-time alertness to the pedestrian. The traffic lights’ timing is programed to ensure that pedestrians have enough time to CROS safely, while vehicles are stopped at the crossing. The system provides a safe and efficient crossing experience for pedestrians, reducing the risk of accidents on busy roads.
