Projects
Dual power use smart traffic system, This project was about a traffic system using eskom and solar panels as the power supply. The reason for this was to avoid excessive accidents during load shedding due to power cut which leads to traffic system not operating. It was a final year project which was aimed to reduce traffic congestion as it detects side with high traffic and open for the side using ultrasonic sensors.
