Techniques for road traffic optimization: An overview

Abstract

With the number of cars clogging the roads and junctions around the world and expected to double in the next decades, new ways have been introduced by researchers. controlling traffic signals through active traffic management targeted to increase road capacity and road traffic flows more efficient. Smart traffic lights have the ability to reduce traffic congestion and vehicle waiting time, thus reducing fuel wasting and gas emissions. This work explores proposed solutions and techniques for traffic signal to optimize road traffic and reduce traffic congestion impacts.
