Pi 5 Traffic Flow Prediction System
Raspberry Pi 5 Traffic Flow Prediction Kit — Build a Real-Time Congestion Forecaster for Adaptive Signals
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine traffic signals that adjust before a jam forms. With this kit, you’ll deploy four IR sensor nodes at a simulated intersection, stream vehicle count data to a Raspberry Pi 5, and train an LSTM neural network to forecast congestion 15 minutes into the future — the exact technology behind smart city adaptive traffic control.
What You'll Build
By the end of this build, you’ll have a functional traffic monitoring dashboard displaying real-time vehicle counts and a live prediction graph showing expected congestion levels. The system can be connected to LED indicators to simulate adaptive signal timing changes, preparing you for real-world intelligent transportation projects.
What You'll Learn
- Setting up IR break-beam sensors and reading pulse counts with Raspberry Pi 5 GPIO
- Storing time-series data on NVMe SSD using M.2 HAT for high-speed writes
- Building and training an LSTM neural network in TensorFlow or PyTorch for time-series prediction
- Deploying the trained model on Raspberry Pi 5 to make edge inferences and control outputs

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring AI capstone projects, B.Tech ECE or CSE 2nd-year students tackling IoT+ML course work, and Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping traffic management solutions. It’s also perfect for ATL Tinkering Lab mentors who want a ready-made advanced project for their students.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to launch the AI companion that knows your exact kit. It can troubleshoot step by step, and if you need more help, message us on WhatsApp — we reply within hours.
Do I need prior machine learning experience?
No. The companion guides you through data collection, model architecture, and training on the Pi 5, turning a complex ML task into a learn-by-doing experience.
Can I use this for a smart city competition?
Absolutely. The system is designed to demonstrate adaptive signal control logic. Judges love the combination of real sensor data and predictive AI on an edge device — it’s a ready prototype for Smart India Hackathon or college tech fests.
What if my Raspberry Pi 5 already has an OS? Can I add the SSD?
Yes. The M.2 HAT+ stacks neatly, and the included NVMe SSD will become the boot and data drive. The companion covers setup steps for fresh OS installation and data logging.
