Abstract
In recent years, there has been proportional increase in numbers of automobiles on the roads. Although the number of vehicles using the roads has increased, the static road infrastructure is almost the same and is unable to cope with changes like congestion, unpredictable travel-time delays and road-accidents that are taking a serious shape. Traffic congestion has been one of the major concerns faced by the metropolitan cities today. Road Divider is generically used for dividing the Road for ongoing and incoming traffic. This helps keeping the flow of traffic. Generally, there is equal number of lanes for both ongoing and incoming traffic. Our idea is to formulate a mechanism of automated movable road divider that can shift lanes, so that we can have a greater number of lanes in the direction of the rush. An Automated movable road divider can provide a solution to the above-mentioned problem effectively. This is possible through IOT. The sensors placed on the dividers sense the flow of traffic whether flow of traffic is smooth or not? If the flow is smooth on either side then there is nothing to worry but the lane which is having more traffic, the divider is moved to a certain distance to the smoother lane in order to smoothen the busy lane.
