Urban areas in India and around the world face significant challenges related to traffic congestion and inefficient street light management. This congestion often arises from the inadequate coordination of traffic signals and law enforcement strategies. In response to this issue, this paper proposes the development of a Voice-Controlled Smart Traffic (VCST) system based on Arduino UNO. The system utilizes specific voice commands to monitor and control both the traffic flow and street lighting. By implementing energy optimization methods and employing a low-cost, highly reliable, and user friendly architecture within the smart grid framework, the proposed system aims to address these challenges. The VCST system, built on Arduino UNO, integrates a voice recognition module that responds to simple commands such as "red," "green," "yellow," and "stop." These voice commands are transmitted via an Android application to a Bluetooth module, which distinguishes between pre-stored commands and accurately identifies them. This mechanism allows for the effective control of both street lights and traffic signals. In the ensuing sections, we delve into the intricacies of the VCST system, its implementation, and the three-layer architecture of smart street lighting integrated with traffic control. The motivation behind this endeavor lies in addressing the persistent issue of traffic congestion, especially during emergency situations, by implementing a responsive and intelligent traffic management system through the integration of voice control and IoT technologies. The proposed system not only aims to reduce congestion but also contributes to energy optimization, providing a sustainable and adaptable solution for urban traffic challenges.
