<p>A traffic matrix is a network-wide description of the total traffic volume carried within a domain, where each element describes the volume of traffic that originates at one node and is destined for another, and corresponds to an origin-destination (OD) pair. The Davao City local government implemented a project for traffic system with road sensors and CCTV (closed-circuit television) cameras but years after, some traffic lights appear to be blinking. It then takes a long time before the traffic lights restored to its usual function. Thus, not all of the intersection of streets in Davao City has traffic control. This study aimed to utilize matrix concepts on traffic control through computations using systems of linear equation and Gauss Jordan elimination involving actual traffic vehicle density data recorded from selected 4-cornered and 3-cornered blocks of Davao City. A descriptive method, specifically a mix of field survey and computational approach was utilized. The traffic matrix created indicates that for traffic to keep flowing in the 4-cornered block, 1430, 151, and 261 cars per hour must be routed between intersections 1 and 2, intersections 3 and 2, and intersections 3 and 4, respectively in an hour. For the 3-cornered block, 200, 711 and 1094 cars per hour need to be routed between intersections 1 and 2, 3 and 2 and 1 and 3, respectively. Then, the matrix is used to know how to organize the vehicles and control their entering and leaving a street to avoid traffic jam.</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Matrix concept, traffic control, linear equation, Gauss Jordan, descriptive method, Davao City, Philippines</p><div> </div>

Nowadays, traffic light system is very important to avoid car crashes and arrange traffic load. In the Sulaimani City / Iraq, there are many traffic problems such as traffic congestion or traffic jam and the amount of time provided manually to the traffic light system. This is the main difficulty that we try to solve. The traffic lights exist but still do not manage traffic congestion due to the fixed time provided for each lane regardless of their different load. Therefore, we are proposing to change the traditional traffic system to smart traffic system (adaptive system). This paper Focuses on the existing system (fixed system), then propose the adaptive one. The main crucial side effects of the existing system are:   Emergency cases: congested traffics might block the way of emergencies for instance ambulance, which transports people to the hospital Wasting time of people generally and specially Delays, which lead people to not to be punctual, this means people arrive late to the work  Wasting more fuels as staying more in the traffics, which affects the environment by increasing pollution.

In a complex multiagent system, agents may have different partial information about the system’s state and the information held by other agents in the system. In a distributed urban traffic control, where each junction has an independent controller, agents that learn can benefit from exchanging information, but this exchange of information may not always be useful. In this chapter the authors analyze how agents can benefit from sharing information in an urban traffic control scenario and the consequences of this cooperation in the performance of the traffic system.

Vehicular traffic is continuously increasing around the world, especially in large urban areas. The resulting congestion has become a major concern to transportation specialists and decision makers. The existing methods for traffic management, surveillance and control are not adequately efficient in terms of performance, cost, maintenance, and support. In this paper, the design of a system that utilizes and efficiently manages traffic light controllers is presented. In particular, we present an adaptive traffic control system based on a new traffic infrastructure using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). These techniques are dynamically adaptive to traffic conditions on both single and multiple intersections. An intelligent traffic light controller system with a new method of vehicle detection and dynamic traffic signal time manipulation is used in the project. The project is also designed to control traffic over multiple intersections and follows international standards for traffic light operations. A central monitoring station is designed to monitor all access nodes..

The world is becoming smart as IoT is now an integral part of individuals' routine lives. To control any devices at any place and at anytime from anywhere is now just a matter of access. The goal of this work is to provide simple, efficient, cost-effective, and reliable communication system for traffic management. Keeping in view the aim of smart city, after cleanliness, traffic is the major concern nowadays. A case study is presented through proposed model in this work that will help in improving traffic condition of the city. The available data is analyzed and processed through Raspberry-pi. This data is simultaneously being updated at the web server through cloud. Based on the data available in real time, the system enables controlling traffic system dynamically. This helps in reducing congestion and provides fast going way for heavy vehicular traffic. The system can be clubbed with existing centralized traffic control system in the Indore city to manage traffic conditions in a better way.

There is considered a problem of road traffic organization at crossroads under conditions of urban environment and outgoing highways. The urgency of the problem of automated traffic control with the information for vehicle drivers about traffic situation using both navigation systems and warning systems by means of signal transfer to radar-detectors is shown. The investigation purpose consists in the development of automated self-regulated system of traffic lights control on the basis of vehicle number approaching to the traffic lights and vehicle driver warning about traffic jam approaching for the purpose of its going around. In the paper there are solved problems regarding traffic capacity of a megapolis traffic system, driver warning about problem road situations and the automation of these processes. On the basis of the theory of automated control there is shown a developed system allowing the formation of a traffic passage by means of driver warning about traffic jam ahead. There are described thoroughly component parts of the system limiting only with the choice of components among prototypes available in the market. A principle of automated traffic flow control at the crossroads supplied with the traffic lights is shown. There is shown a functional diagram of the interaction of system components for the successful traffic organization. The algorithm of the system automation functioning with its adjustment to certain time intervals of the effect of the enabling traffic light signal at a particular T-shaped or X-shaped intersection is described. The system developed for traffic control at intersections allows relieving considerably city streets. The analysis of the system has shown that traffic lights adaptive control allows decreasing traffic up to 70%. The application of domestic software components decreases system cost by 2-4 times as compared with foreign prototypes which, among other things, do not have the functional offered.

Transportation vehicles refer to the vehicles used to transport people's needs and goods from one area to another. Intelligent traffic signalling systems are needed due to the increase in the number of vehicles in traffic, the roads used, the insufficiency of the surrounding areas and the inability to widen these roads or construct upper / lower roads. Nowadays, there are situations where traffic control is insufficient in current density due to the traffic system mechanisms being dependent on fixed time. Therefore, some smart methods have been developed to prevent waste of time and economic problems. In this study, application of Petri Nets (PA) based on real data collected at certain times of the day for intelligent control of traffic lights at a four-way intersection. PA's performances have been compared with their classical (fixed time) performances. When the results obtained were evaluated in terms of both the number of passing vehicles and time, it was seen that the PA passed 849 vehicles in 755 seconds, 341 vehicles in 920 seconds in the classical method and a better result was obtained with PA.

The article discusses the problem of passing emergency rescue vehicles in action in urban areas with intersections controlled by traffic lights. Fast travel is necessary while striving to minimize the possibility of adverse events. Traffic lights at intersections give the opportunity to use it to pave the free road for the passage of a privileged emergency vehicle. The quick change of control signals at the intersection (paving the way) must take into account the limitations resulting from the long stop (and thus long time) of public transport vehicles in public transport. Properly generated advance information will allow (in a way not threatened with injuries to passengers) to stop before crossing the bus, tram, trolley bus. The existing concepts do not take into account the need to generate advance information in traffic lights controllers resulting from the restrictions on the stop of a public transport vehicle. The article presents the concept of introducing advance information during the creation of a free road for a rescue vehicle.

The right and appropriate system of receiving and transferring goods is needed by the company. In the process of receiving and transferring goods from the central warehouse to the branch warehouse at PDAM Tirta Kerta Raharja, Tangerang Regency, which is currently done manually is still ineffective and inaccurate because the Head of Subdivision uses receipt documents, namely PPBP and mutation of goods, namely MPPW in the form of paper as a submission media. The Head of Subdivision enters the data of receipt and mutation of goods manually and requires a relatively long time because at the time of demand for the transfer of goods the Head of Subdivision must check the inventory of goods in the central warehouse first. Therefore, it is necessary to hold a design of information systems for the receipt and transfer of goods from the central warehouse to a web-based branch warehouse that is already database so that it is more effective, efficient and accurate. With the web-based system of receiving and transferring goods that are already datatabed, it can facilitate the Head of Subdivision in inputing data on the receipt and transfer of goods and control of stock inventory so that the Sub Head of Subdivision can do it periodically to make it more effective, efficient and accurate. The method of data collection is done by observing, interviewing and studying literature from various previous studies, while the system analysis method uses the Waterfall method which aims to solve a problem and uses design methods with visual modeling that is object oriented with UML while programming using PHP and MySQL as a database.
