Project No. 24: Creating a Smart Automatic Zebra Crossing

1. Introduction: 

Introducing the Smart Zebra Crossing project—a modern solution designed to make pedestrian crossings safer and more efficient. Our innovative system utilizes advanced technology to improve the flow of both vehicles and pedestrians.

Traditional zebra crossings often face challenges, leading to congestion and potential safety risks. Our project aims to overcome these issues by incorporating intelligent features. With the help of servo motors, we control separate gates for vehicles and pedestrians. This ensures smooth traffic flow while prioritizing pedestrian safety.

To enhance safety further, we have included a buzzer component. When the pedestrian gate is about to open, the buzzer emits a warning sound. This alerts pedestrians to the gate's movement, providing an additional layer of caution during crossing. 

In addition to the buzzer, we have integrated a signal light system. This system uses visual signals, such as red and green lights or symbols, to indicate when it is safe for pedestrians to cross. Synchronizing the signal lights with the gate operation ensures clear guidance for pedestrians.

2. Working: 

Step1: Initialization:
The project starts with initializing the microcontroller and setting up the necessary connections for the servo motors, signal lights, and buzzer.


Step2: Signal Light Monitoring:
The microcontroller constantly monitors the state of the signal lights to determine the current traffic condition. This can be achieved by interfacing with the existing traffic light system or using sensors to detect the color of the lights. 



When the pedestrian signal turns green, indicating that it is safe for pedestrians to cross, the microcontroller sends a command to the servo motor controlling the pedestrian gate. The servo motor rotates to open the gate, allowing pedestrians to enter the zebra crossing area.

Step3: Buzzer Activation: 
As the pedestrian gate opens, the microcontroller activates the buzzer to generate an audible alert, indicating to pedestrians that the crossing is about to open. This alerts pedestrians to be prepared to cross safely.

Step4: Crossing Period: 
The pedestrian gate remains open for a predefined period, allowing pedestrians to cross the road. During this time, the buzzer may continue to provide intermittent alerts, reminding pedestrians to proceed promptly and attentively.

Step5: Vehicles Gate control:  
After the designated crossing period elapses, the microcontroller commands the servo motor controlling the pedestrian gate to close it, ensuring that no new pedestrians enter the crossing.

Simultaneously, the microcontroller continues monitoring the state of the signal lights for vehicles. When the vehicle signal turns green, indicating that vehicles have the right of way, the microcontroller commands the servo motor controlling the vehicle gate to open it, allowing vehicles to pass through the zebra crossing area.

The vehicle gate remains open for a specific duration, providing sufficient time for vehicles to cross the crossing safely.

Step6: Gate Closure: 
After the vehicle crossing period concludes, the microcontroller commands the servo motor controlling the vehicle gate to close it, ensuring the safety of pedestrians and preventing any vehicles from entering the zebra crossing area.

Step6: Looping:
The system continues to monitor the signal lights and repeats the process from Step 3, allowing pedestrians and vehicles to cross the zebra crossing smoothly and safely as per the signal light timings. 

3. What is IR sensor?

An IR sensor, also known as an infrared sensor, is a device that detects and measures infrared radiation in its surroundings. Infrared radiation is an electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light but shorter wavelengths than radio waves.

IR sensors consist of an emitter and a receiver. The emitter emits infrared radiation, and the receiver detects the reflected or emitted radiation. When an object is present in the sensor's field of view, it reflects or emits infrared radiation, which is then detected by the receiver. The sensor analyzes the received signals to determine the presence, proximity, or movement of objects.
