Design and Development of IOT Based Prototype Police Barricade

With growing concerns over road traffic mismanagement and rampant untraced vehicle movement, it becomes imperative to deploy countermeasures. In this paper, we propose a solution for installation of contact-free road barricading system which employs motorized barricades and automatic vehicle e-pass authentication. To provide economical viability, the system is implemented using low cost hardware. Motorization is carried out using DC motor modulated by microcontroller and vehicle verification by computer vision techniques and scraping data from webpages of authorities governing road traffic.
