Abstract— This project is aimed at resolving severe traffic congestion in most cities across the world by using latest technologies. The world is heading towards IoT and shifting daily routine manual processes to automatic systems. Current traffic control system is based on fixed timer which becomes one of the main reasons of transport blockage. In order to overcome this problem, a framework has been designed to introduce the concept of smart traffic system which includes Internet of Things. The road side sensors attached to the Arduino Mega send information to the cloud using NodeMCU where decision is taken based on density, hence involving cloud computation to turn a particular signal green. Moreover, we have also dealt with emergency vehicles which bears the facility of turning signal green using either RFID system or GSM based mobile. Sound sensors are placed to confirm that the signal return to normal condition once the emergency vehicle has crossed the signal. Lastly, a geofencing based marketing app called “Brando” has been designed using android studio to provide location-based services from the nearest stations like shopping malls to the people on road on their respective mobile phones.

Traffic congestion is a growing problem in the world. It causes waste of time and fuel, increases pollution and stress. This is especially of road traffic in India, which faces problems like congestion, unpredictable travel time, urban chaos and noise. A smart traffic system automates the traffic control activity in order to obtain preference for the lanes on the basis of certain parameters. Hence, it provides an automatic control on the traffic in an optimized manner. It takes inputs from various sensors (utilising ultrasonic sensors, light sensors, motion sensors, cameras and IoT devices) and sends interrupt signals to the controlling devices. It consists of the IoT (Internet of Things) coupled with smartphone technology, RFID, sensors and a LADAR system. The system deals with the major issues of traffic congestion and collision avoidance and suggests remedies to tackle the same. In this chapter, various methodologies and architectures for smart traffic system operations are described.

Transit by road is one of the crude methods of transportation in various parts of the world as of today. The abundance of vehicles utilizing the street is expanding in an ascending order consistently. Because to this reason, traffic congestion in urban areas is becoming inescapable these days. The normal purpose behind traffic blockage is because of poor traffic prioritization, wherein a portion of the paths may have less traffic than the others with measure up to signal light length for both the paths. This Inefficient administration of traffic leads to wastage of crucial time, contamination, wastage of fuel, expenditure of transportation and worry to drivers, and so on however more vitally emergency vehicles like rescue vehicle stall out in traffic. Our project is on density based traffic control with the need to prioritize vehicles like emergency vehicle and fire brigade. In this way, it is especially important to plan a system to keep away from the setbacks. In this way counteracting mishaps, impacts, and traffic jams.

Traffic lights play such important role in traffic management to control the traffic on the road. Situation at traffic light area is getting worse especially in the event of emergency cases. During traffic congestion, it is difficult for emergency vehicle to cross the road which involves many junctions. This situation leads to unsafe conditions which may cause accident. An Automatic Traffic Light Controller for Emergency Vehicle is designed and developed to help emergency vehicle crossing the road at traffic light junction during emergency situation. This project used Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) to program a priority-based traffic light controller for emergency vehicle. During emergency cases, emergency vehicle like ambulance can trigger the traffic light signal to change from red to green in order to make clearance for its path automatically. Using Radio Frequency (RF) the traffic light operation will turn back to normal when the ambulance finishes crossing the road. Result showed the design is capable to response within the range of 55 meters. This project was successfully designed, implemented and tested.

An urban intersection group consists of a set of intersections which are geographically adjacent and strongly correlated with each other. It is an effective way to relieve traffic congestion in the networks to set the key intersection of the road network as the core, radiate outward to find the scale of its influence and divide the intersections into groups according to their relevance. Determining intersections group is the fundament of improving traffic control. Therefore, analyzing the associated features of intersections group and the research method of determining the scope of intersection group to ensure the compatibility of "time", " space" and "traffic flow", is of high research value and practical significance[1]. This paper focuses on operating characteristics of adjacent intersections with factor (CF) as indicators of the value of the associated metric of the adjacent sections and developing dynamic partitioning intersection group program in VISSIM, and take the road network near Guangzhou Road as example.

Abstract Traffic congestion in the City of Surakarta gave rise to a phenomenal figure among motor vehicle drivers, called the Traffic Control Volunteers or abbreviated as Supeltas. This Supeltas is present on the road to help organize the movement of traffic, as happened at the Surakarta Ganesha Unsignalized Intersection. This study aims to determine the influence of the existence of Supeltas on capacity, degree of saturation, delay, and queuing opportunities that occur at the intersection. The analysis was carried out using the 1997 Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual. The results showed that the intersection without Supeltas had a capacity of 3,114.03 pcu/hour and a degree of saturation of 1.47, while the same intersection but with Supeltas had a capacity of 3,136.81 pcu/hour and a degree of saturation of 1.51. These results indicate that Supeltas has a positive influence on the performance of the intersection. Nevertheless, the degree of saturation in the location increased due to the increase in traffic volume as well as increased capacity. Keywords: unsignalized intersection, intersection performance, intersection capacity, degree of saturation  Abstrak Kemacetan lalu lintas di Kota Surakarta memunculkan sosok fenomenal di kalangan pengendara kendaraan bermotor, yang disebut Sukarelawan Pengatur Lalu Lintas atau disingkat Supeltas. Supeltas ini hadir di jalan untuk membantu mengatur pergerakan lalu lintas, seperti yang terjadi di Simpang Tak Bersinyal Ganesha Surakarta. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan pengaruh keberadaan Supeltas terhadap kapasitas, derajat kejenuhan, tundaan, dan peluang antrian yang terjadi di simpang tersebut. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggu-nakan Manual Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia 1997. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa simpang tanpa Supeltas memiliki kapasitas sebesar 3.114,03 smp/jam dan derajat kejenuhan 1,47, sedangkan simpang yang sama tetapi dengan Supeltas memiliki kapasitas sebesar 3.136,81 smp/jam dan derajat kejenuhan 1,51. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa Supeltas mempunyai pengaruh positif terhadap kinerja simpang. Meskipun demikian, derajat kejenuhan di lokasi tersebut meningkat karena bertambahnya volume lalu lintas di samping kapasitas yang juga meningkat. Kata-kata kunci: simpang tak bersinyal, kinerja simpang, kapasitas simpang, derajat kejenuhan


Every now and then traffic congestion has always been a hindrance in everyone’s normal life routine. This traffic congestion hindrance is very much problematic in case of high priority emergency vehicles namely ambulances, VIP vehicles, fire engines etc. So, traffic control has to be made proficient to provide smooth flow of vehicles. However, efficient synchronization of traffic at multiple junctions is complex. Conventional control systems do not handle the dynamic flow of traffic which results in chaos. In this project, implementation of an emergency vehicle detection system is done. The main objective is to provide a traffic-free route to the vehicles in order to save life. In this paper two cases are considered, in the initial case, the lane density at the junction will be calculated using ultrasonic sensors by Raspberry pi (Rpi) and the lane with minimal density route will be directed to the emergency vehicle NodeMcu in this case. Considering the assumption that hospital is present near to every lane. And in the second case, the conflict arises when two emergency vehicles are encountered at the same time at a junction, so this conflict is resolved in thispaper.

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.
