Adaptive Traffic Light Control using Google Maps API at Multiple Road Intersections

Abstract

In today’s urbanized world one of the major and regular crisis we face is Traffic Congestion, this crisis is caused by an increase in the usage of private vehicles adjoint with the availability in the land resources present. This major crisis has increased the attention of the research and development community and has led to the development of various Intelligent Traffic Management System(ITS).In this paper we present a solution by using Google Maps API which is a crowdsourced data used for detecting trafficked areas and these values are transferred to a private cloud storage where a traffic congestion calculation algorithm is present and this algorithm is used to categorize the status of congestion for a particular intersection
