Abstract
El presente trabajo se realizó como proyecto de graduación, tiene el propósito de realizar el diseño de un sistema centralizado de semáforo fotovoltaico para la monitorización y control de tráfico en la ciudad de Tegucigalpa, para ello se realizó el estudio sobre la viabilidad técnica y económica de instalar un sistema de semáforo fotovoltaico en donde se determinó que el costo de este tipo de semáforos es elevado en relación a los semáforos convencionales, esto debido al equipo fotovoltaico que se debe instalar, esto incluye, aparte del panel, el regulador de voltaje y la batería para mantener el sistema trabajando aún en días nublados o por la noche. Con este tipo de sistema centralizado de semáforo fotovoltaico se pretende determinar la relevancia de implementar nuevas tecnologías para mejorar el tráfico en la ciudad de Tegucigalpa, monitoreando los congestionamientos vehiculares, para obtener la información necesaria para programar los semáforos según las necesidades que se presentan en las intersecciones donde se instalan estos dispositivos. Para todo ello se presenta la propuesta de un sistema centralizado de semáforo fotovoltaico con el fin de mantener los semáforos trabajando y adquiriendo los datos del tráfico continuamente por medio de ser alimentados con energía alternativa como la energía solar, mejorando el tráfico al darle fluidez en el congestionamiento por medio del monitoreo constante del mismo para determinar ciclos según el tráfico que se presente en cada lugar donde se instalan estos dispositivos.

With this type of centralized photovoltaic traffic light system, it is intended to determine the relevance of implementing new technologies to improve traffic in the city of Tegucigalpa, monitoring traffic congestion, to obtain the necessary information to program traffic lights according to the needs that arise in the intersections where these devices are installed. For all this, the proposal of a centralized photovoltaic traffic light system is presented in order to keep the traffic lights working and acquiring traffic data continuously by being fed with alternative energy such as solar energy, improving traffic by giving it fluidity in the congestion through constant monitoring of it to determine cycles according to the traffic that occurs in each place where these devices are installed.
