V2X-Smart-Traffic-Simulation
V2X Smart Traffic Simulation
Overview
This project simulates a real-time smart traffic management system using Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication at a busy 4-way intersection. The goal is to demonstrate how intelligent traffic systems can adapt to real-world conditions like emergency vehicle detection and weather changes to improve road safety and efficiency.
I built this project using SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility) and Python via the TraCI interface. The system features:
- Adaptive traffic signal control
- Emergency vehicle prioritization
- Weather-aware traffic behavior
- A real-time dashboard to visualize and interact with the simulation
My Contributions
- Designed and built the simulation environment using SUMO with a 4-way X-junction
- Implemented logic to detect emergency vehicles and override traffic lights to give them priority
- Created weather toggle functionality (rain) that slows down vehicles and triggers alerts
- Developed a Python-based dashboard using Tkinter to control rain, display alerts, and take simulation screenshots
- Integrated alert display and live traffic signal status viewer
Key Features
- Emergency Vehicle Behavior: Other vehicles yield when an emergency vehicle is present
- Weather Integration: Rain condition slows down vehicles and raises alerts (planned integration with OpenWeatherMap API)
- Live Dashboard: GUI for real-time traffic state monitoring and simulation control
-
Speed Monitoring: Generates and visualizes vehicle speed graphs
Real-Time Dashboard
Displays live traffic status, emergency detection, rain toggle, and simulation alerts.
Vehicle Speed Monitoring
Graph showing average speed and emergency stops over time.
SUMO Simulation View
SUMO visualization of traffic flow through an X-junction.
Green vehicle represents the emergency vehicle, other vehicles yield to it.
Sprint Summary
