【 摘 要 】

The increasing numbers of the private car cause the road traffic congestion. That is becoming important problems in the big cities. Another solution to reduce the traffic jam is developing intelligent transportation system such as intelligent traffic light system. However, the solution of such problems is one of the mandatory concern. In recent years, a smart city is the hottest topic for the efficiency of traffic light using the Internet of Things. Based on that issue, this research proposed traffic light monitoring system that can monitor and display a real-time traffic congestion through smartphones. The system utilized NodeMCU (ESP 8266 12E) equipped by IR obstacle sensor to indicate the road traffic congestion. To connect the internet, the system uses ESP8266 12E wifi in the chip of NodeMCU. It will send a notification to smartphones user. With this research, it is expected to improve road traffic tremendously such as to predict traffic congestion and the system can give some efficient routes for a user.
