Introduction: Our project goal will be focusing on how to build a program to coordinate the Traffic signal timing
Project Goal:
Our project goal is to design a system for managing the time of traffic signal that located in the intersection between Yorba Linda Blvd and Associated Rd with taking into considerations decreasing the average travel time through an intersection and improving overall safety for all types of vehicles entering an intersection.
We went to the location and throughout the observation, we found an engineering problem that the timing of each path could be developed to reduce the amount of waiting and stay at high safety level for all type of vehicles especially the bicycles as we read a lot of shocking statistics about running over the bicycles on the intersections. The first step to improve that system is collecting the data, such as the number of cars of each path and their directions, and the waiting time. This data were taken from 6:30pm to 8:00pm from Monday to Thursday for ensuring more quality of the performance new system. The new system has less than 120 seconds wait for each path to meet our requirement.
The project takes from us a number of hours from getting the data to end up by formatting the program. We firstly scheduled the first meeting to see how we started the project and chose Naser Alazmi as a leader. Then, we chose our period from 6:30 pm to 8:00pm and have four of us to go there and having the data from Monday to Thursday.
The activities were started by doing a meeting in the library and have a plan how to start and chose Nassir Alazmi as a leader for our group. Then, we went to the location and collecting the data (the number of cars from each path and their directions, the waiting time of each path, and the total time of the circle of the traffic signal) The data were taken from the period between 6:30pm to 8:00pm. After that, we had more meetings in the library to study the problems and find solutions.
Abstract:
In this project we are firstly going to write a program to conduct traffic in the intersection of Yorba-Linda Blvd. and Associated Rd.
By observation, we found an engineering problem, which is timing of each path. The timing could be improved by using some mathematics calculations that considered the number of cars of each path and their directions. By this way, we could make a new system that is more efficient and safe as well.
After we have arranged the meetings and divided the tasks between us, we chose the period between 6:30pm to 8:00pm to examine the efficiently of the currant system and try to develop it by our own method. Our method is decreasing the waiting for each path in less than 120 seconds for each path.
We began by starting to figure out appropriate time for all of us to get the data of the location. We chose the time period between 6:30pm to 8:00pm to examine the system and collect the data at that period. We kind of face a problem at that time not all of us are available to come in in that time, we decided to make a schedule that ensure there are three at least available from Monday to Thursday at the time period that we chose.
Then, we calculated the time of each path and examine the efficiency. Also, we have collected how many cars of each path and their directions and comparing the number of car with the time is given. After that, we figured out the timing could be better by rearrange it by using some mathematics calculations that leads to minimize the waiting for all the paths.
We also have met the requirement
, It was hard to get all the group members at the same time because some of us had a morning classes only and the others had only night classes.
