In India, the concept of smart city has evolved since last few years. Smart city includes smart electricity distributions, smart parking, smart lighting on streets, smart water distribution, smart drainage system, smart pipe gas system, smart traffic control system etc. All smart systems listed need smart use of technical solution so that all systems will play critical role in making city as smart. As far as smart traffic control is concerned, there were few solutions suggested and implanted such as sensor with CCTV, camera with IR sensor and tags etc. The technical solution may include software, hardware, communication models, networking, usage of data and of-course data analytics. As large amount of data may be generated by the objects/components involved in the system, it must be analyzed properly. The data may be in structured or un-structured format. In this paper, smart traffic control system with efficient algorithm has been proposed with data analytics to control traffic, which controls the timing of the signal dynamically. At a junction, there is need to control the traffic and signal timing such that air and noise pollution also will be monitored and controlled. In this model, IoT system has been proposed with ultrasonic sensors to control the traffic. The signal timing will be dynamically monitored and adjusted with traffic density within a region. This will give solution to control, monitor the traffic at every signal in a city

AbstrakKota Semarang dalam mewujudkan kota pintar dari sektor transportasi telah memiliki layanan IT area traffic control system (ATCS). Teknologi ATCS merupakan sistem monitoring pengendalian lalu lintas jalan berbasis teknologi informasi pada suatu kawasan di persimpangan yang bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan kinerja jaringan jalan. Pada praktiknya, masih terdapat kendala teknis terkait suplai listrik, yakni pada saat suplai listrik PLN mati lebih dari tiga jam, maka layanan ATCS tidak berfungsi karena baterai listrik cadangan hanya mampu bertahan tiga jam. Oleh karena itu, akan dilakukan penilaian terhadap status keberlanjutan teknologi ATCS yang ditinjau dari dimensi input, proses, dan output guna memperoleh faktor/atribut yang berpengaruh pada keberlanjutan teknologi ATCS. Penelitian penilaian ini menggunakan metodologi deskriptif kualitatif-kuantitatif dengan dukungan analisis Multidimensional Scaling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi lapangan, wawancara dengan pengelola teknologi ATCS, dan penyebaran kuesioner kepada tiga pakar yang terkait teknologi ATCS. Hasil temuan penelitian dapat dijadikan input pada pengembangan teknologi ATCS Kota Semarang sehingga terwujud kota pintar, terutama di sektor transportasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa status keberlanjutan teknologi ATCS pada dimensi input menunjukkan nilai baik, dengan atribut sensitif kerangka tata kelola IT. Status keberlanjutan teknologi ATCS pada dimensi proses menunjukkan nilai cukup, dengan atribut sensitif dukungan lingkungan inovatif. Sementara itu, status keberlanjutan teknologi ATCS pada dimensi output menunjukkan nilai cukup, dengan atribut sensitif efektifitas biaya.Kata Kunci: Keberlanjutan, ATCS, Kota Pintar, Multidimensional ScalingAbstractMultidimensional Scaling Approach for Sustainability Assessment of ATCS Technology of Semarang Smart City: Semarang City in realizing a smart city from the transportation sector has had an IT area traffic control system (ATCS) service. ATCS technology is a road traffic control monitoring system based on information technology in an area at an intersection that aims to optimize road network performance. Practically, there is still a technical problem related to the electricity supply. When the PLN electricity supply has been off for more than three hours, the ATCS service is not functioning because the backup electric battery is only capable of three hours. Therefore, an assessment will be carried out to the sustainability status of ATCS technology in terms of the input, process, and output dimensions to obtain factors/attributes that affect the sustainability of ATCS technology. The research used a descriptive qualitative-quantitative method using Multidimensional Scaling analysis. Data collection was conducted by field observation, interviews with ATCS technology managers, and distributing questionnaires to three experts related to ATCS technology. The results of the research findings can be used as input for the development of ATCS technology for developing smart city Semarang, especially in the transportation sector. The results showed that the sustainability status of ATCS technology on the input dimension is good, with sensitive attributes IT governance framework. The sustainability status of the ATCS technology in the process dimension showed sufficient value, with the sensitive attributes of innovative environmental support. While the status of the sustainability of the ATCS technology in the output dimension showed sufficient value with the cost-effectiveness sensitive attribute.Keywords: Sustainability, ATCS, Smart City, Multidimensional Scaling.

Over the years, the number of vehicles has increased dramatically, which has led to serious problems such as traffic jams, accidents, and many other problems, as cities turn into smart cities. In recent years, traffic jams have become one of the main challenges for engineers and designers to create an intelligent traffic management system capable of effectively detecting and reducing the overall density of traffic in most urban areas visited by motorists such as offices, downtown, and establishments based on several modern technologies, including wireless sensor networks (WSNs), surveillance camera, and IoT. In this article, we propose an intelligent traffic control system based on the design of a wireless sensor network (WSN) in order to collect data on road traffic and also on available parking spaces in a smart city. In addition, the proposed system has innovative services that allow drivers to view the traffic rate and the number of available parking spaces to their destination remotely using an Android mobile application to avoid traffic jams and to take another alternative route to avoid getting stuck and also to make it easier for drivers when looking for a free parking space to avoid unnecessary trips. Our system integrates three smart subsystems connected to each other (crossroad management, parking space management, and a mobile application) in order to connect citizens to a smart city.

Traffic Congestion is considered as one of the major dimensions of a smart city. With the rapid growth of population and urban mobility in metropolitan cities, traffic congestion is often seen on roads. In this paper we have made an attempt to Intelligent Traffic Control System (ITCS) is to achieve improvement in Safety less time the valuable human life delay as per the distance density. With the help of traffic control we can assign more time on the side where it’s required and less time on the side where it’s not required. This device can be fitted into Vehicles like Bus, Car etc.
