Abstract

Road traffic within campus communities has increased tremendously. More persons are now moving around campuses with vehicles than previously recorded. This development will pose a major traffic challenge if it is not addressed urgently. Standard technologies for traffic management in campus communities do not have a computerized framework that can control traffic based on detected level of congestion. The main purpose of this research is to propose a more efficient and effective system for road traffic management in a campus community. The system is completely automated and can manage the ever mounting traffic in campus communities. The proposed campus traffic management system was simulated using Proteus®. Tests carried out on the simulated reallife campus traffic scenario confirmed that the proposed campus traffic management system was better than conventional traffic control systems in existence on campuses.
