Traffic congestion is one of the major problems that Lebanon agonizes from. In this case study, the main objective is to provide a smart traffic light system that can reduce congestion in addition to all of its negative effects. The method used for design was the Webster Method. The results are very favorable. The system was optimized to reduce traffic light stops and idle running times provided that the drivers abide by the speed limit on the roadway and try to maintain a constant speed.

Abstract: Traffic signal control frameworks are generally used to monitor and control the progression of cars through the intersection of roads. Moreover, a portable controller device is designed to solve the issue of emergency vehicles stuck in overcrowded roads. The main objective of this paper is to design and implement a suitable algorithm and its simulation for an intelligent traffic signal simulator. The framework created can detect the presence or nonappearance of vehicles within a specific reach by setting appropriate duration for traffic signals to react accordingly. By employing mathematical functions and algorithms to ascertain the suitable timing for the green signal to illuminate, the framework can assist with tackling the issue of traffic congestion. The explanation relies on recent fixed programming time. Keywords: Smart Traffic Light System, Smart City, Traffic Monitoring.

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.

Data Networking

The existing traffic light system fails to deal with the increase in vehicular traffic requirements due to fixed time programming. Traffic flow suffers from vehicle delay and congestion. A new networking technology called vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) offers a novel solution for vehicular traffic management. Nowadays, vehicles communicate with each other (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), or roadside units (V2R) using IP-based networks. Nevertheless, IP-based networks demonstrate low performance with moving nodes as they depend on communication with static nodes. Currently, the research community is studying a new networking architecture based on content name called named data networking (NDN) to implement it in VANET. NDN is suitable for VANET as it sends/receives information based on content name, not content address. In this paper, we present one of VANET’s network applications over NDN, a smart traffic light system. Our system solves the traffic congestion issue as well as reducing the waiting time of vehicles in road intersections. This system replaces the current conventional system with virtual traffic lights (VTLs). Instead of installing traffic lights at every intersection, we utilize a road side unit (RSU) to act as the intersection controller. Instead of a light signal, the RSU collects the orders of vehicles that have arrived or will arrive at the intersection. After processing the orders according to the priority policy, the RSU sends an instant message for every vehicle to pass the intersection or wait for a while. The proposed system mimics a human policeman intersection controlling. This approach is suitable for autonomous vehicles as they only receive signals from the RSU instead of processing many images. We provide a map of future work directions for enhancing this solution to take into account pedestrian and parking issues.

<p>In Iraq, the number of people who own vehicles has grown up significantly. However, this increment in vehicles number doesn’t accomplished by a study of roads and intersections expansion. As a result, traffic jams became a big problem that led to long waiting time at each intersection, increased car accidents, pollution, and economic problems. To solve this problem a Smart Traffic Light System (STLS) has been implemented using Arduino, camera, IR sensor to overcome traffic jams problems in Kut city – Iraq.</p>

The increasing in the number of vehicles on streets has led to traffic congestion. In order to reduce the waiting timein cases of emergency, the idea of this work is suggested. This work is divided into two parts, the particular part and softwarepart. The first circular particular part is a model which consists of four lanes junction of a traffic light, it also has GSM system (Global System for Mobile Communications). The GSM and lamps of the traffic light are connected to Arduino UNO. TheArduino controls every signal which is coming from the inputs (GSM) to software and display to the outputs (lamps) Thesecond circular particular part is a model which consist same components the first circuit except replace the GSM withIR(infrared Remote).The goal from this work is to help us in the emergence cases, the opening and closing of the traffic light arecontrolled by using GSM system and IR, the time of each lane, is controlled that means reduce the crowding.

Waiting Lines

There is no doubt that the traffic problem is one of the problems faced by universities in different intensities for roads, intersections, and parklands. The negative effects of traffic congestion and bottlenecks are clear; they include extension of long waiting lines and increasing the time of transport with the consequences of ill effects. The effective solutions placed to resolve these problems need specialized studies relying on scientific methods for collecting and analyzing relevant data and drawing effective conclusions, recommendations, and solutions. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the problems of traffic congestion in crowded institutions, with realistic application to an anonymous University in Saudi Arabia as a case study and to provide the best solutions to achieve fluent flow of traffic at the present time and in the near and far future. Due to the complexity of the problem and its huge data and to facilitate the analysis process, the problem has been divided into three main sections, and the data is collected in four different ways.
