Intelligent Traffic Control System: Towards Smart City

Abstract

India is the second most populated country in the world at an estimated growth of 1.37 billion. As a result the traffic problems have become more prevalent and efficient traffic control and the management has become an absolute and urgent requisite. Hence, it is the need of the hour to have well maintained traffic control system particularly in busy traffic hours. In this paper, we proposed a traffic control system for the maintenance of congestion, clearance of emergency-vehicles like ambulance, fire-brigades, and detection of stolen vehicle. The proposed system was based upon three major conditions: control of heavy traffic flow, make a separate route for emergency vehicles like ambulances, fire brigade, VIP vehicles etc and finally detection of stolen vehicles through RFID tags. This paper aims to reduce and solve most problems related to traffic congestion by using an IoT based setup. The system comprises of four RF module setups which are controlled by a hub RF module setup wirelessly. This paper provides a detailed explanation with the proposed model which was aimed to reduce the manpower as well as cost of traffic control with an efficient maintenance system. The proposed work will enhance the safe flow of traffic and reduces chaos in traffic management.
