| dc.description.abstract | The frequent congestion causes accumulation of vehicles at the
intersection of roads cutting off railroads, reducing the functionality of highway
services, the loss of vehicle functions as a means of transportation, waste of fuel
energy, and CO2 increase in intersections. The occurrence of congestion caused
by the absence of integration of traffic light controls by opening and closing the
railway barrier, therefore need to be done integrated control especially during and
after a while train crossing the highway. The case raised in this study is the
crossroads Prof. H.M. Jalan Yamin with Gaharu road in Medan. Researchers tried
to solve the problem by designing and creating a tool that would coordinate and
regulate traffic lights with railroad doors, thus reducing congestion for 23 minutes,
reducing fuel by as much as 60,340 liters per day, thereby reducing CO2 exhaust
gases in the area. This tool uses microcontroller as its control center. This design
is done with a miniature simulation, meaning it is not done in the actual situation,
but the field conditions can be represented in the simulation in the form of
miniature. | en_US |
