Innovation to Improve Traffic Management Efficiency at Intersections.

BANDUNG, itb.ac.id – Arction: Arctreon in Action, an exhibition organized by the Electrical Engineering Student Association (HME ITB), was held on Saturday (August 16, 2025) at the East Hall, Ganesha Campus, ITB. This exhibition was part of the orientation program Masa Bina Cinta, welcoming new members into the student association representing undergraduate students of Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Power Engineering. Attended by nearly 600 people, the exhibition showcased 13 electrotechnology-based innovations designed to address real-world issues within a 25-kilometer radius of ITB Ganesha Campus.

The event’s chairperson, Vanadia Valianti (Electrical Engineering, 2024), described the exhibition as a valuable experience. “We want to raise awareness, especially among the younger generation, about the relevance of electrotechnics and how it can provide real solutions to everyday problems,” she said.

Among the standout innovations were those from Group 6: “L Lamp System” and Group 12: “Adaptive Traffic Light”. These groups presented traffic light systems equipped with vehicle detection sensors, designed to optimize traffic flow at congested intersections. By using real-time vehicle data, the system automatically adjusts the duration of red and green lights based on the number of cars present, improving traffic efficiency.

In addition to traffic management systems, other notable exhibits included AnCur, a motorcycle theft prevention system, Arduino-based object detection radar, and IoT-based smart home solutions. These creative projects demonstrated the critical role of electrotechnics in solving a wide range of social challenges—from public safety and transportation to everyday comfort and convenience.

Adding to its uniqueness, the exhibition also featured interactive pre-test and post-test sessions, allowing organizers to measure how much attendees’ understanding of electrotechnical solutions improved throughout the event.

Through Arction, Vanadia hopes the public will become more aware of how electrotechnics can positively impact daily life, while also opening pathways for future research collaboration in the fields of electrical, biomedical, and power engineering.
