Smart Traffic Management System for Traffic Control using Automated Mechanical and Electronic Devices

Abstract

In the current context of smart city, specifically in the industrial and market zones, the traffic scenario is very congested most of the time particularly at the peak time of business hours. Due to increasing growth of population and vehicles in smart and metropolitan cities people face lot of problem at the major traffic points of the business towns. Not only it causes travelling delays, it also contributes to environmental pollution as well as health hazards due to pollution caused by vehicle fuels.To keep away from such severe issues many radiant urban communities are right now implementing smart traffic control frameworks that work on the standards of traffic automation with prevention of the previously mentioned issues. The fundamental concept lies in collection of traffic congestion information quickly and passing the alternate strategy to vehicles as well as passengers with on-line traffic information system and effectively applying it to specific traffic stream. In this context, an enhanced traffic control and monitoring framework has been proposed in the present article that performs quick information transmission and their corresponding action. In the projected approach, under a Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) scenario, the mobile agent based controller executes a congestion control algorithm to uniformly organize the traffic flow by avoiding the congestion at the smart traffic zone. It exhibits other unique features such as prevention of accidents, crime, driver flexibility and security of the passengers. Simulation carried out using Ns2 simulator shows encouraging results in terms of better performance to control the delay and prevent any accident due to profound congestion up to a greater extent.
