Traffic related problems include not just traffic congestion due to increase in vehicular density, but also difficulty for passage of emergency vehicles, violation of rules such as red signal jumps, vehicle breakdowns and accidents causing blockage of roads and loss of lives. Previously proposed systems for smart traffic management focus on vehicular density based traffic signal control and provision...
Reduction of Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) emission has been a global challenge in strategic supply-chain decision making for many companies. This paper focuses on the transportation sector of the supply chain since it is a significant contributor to CO2 emissions. To reduce CO2 emissions, previous studies have focused on mathematical models, government policies that affect CO2 emission and optimizing results...
As an advancement vehicular traffic in urban areas, traffic congestion mitigation is a serious problem. In order to reduce traffic congestion at intersections intelligent signaling mechanisms required. This work proposes the design of a system that utilizes and efficiently manages traffic light controllers according to the congestion predicted at each line using real time data. At each signal change,...
Traffic congestion impacts turn-around-time, productivity, economy and global warming. It is one of the significant challenges the world is facing and hence there is a focused approach to address the same. Parameters-of-significance (PoS) to monitor traffic congestion are identified and research is carried out to define enabling technologies to monitor these PoS. As of now signaling electronics is...
Increasing amounts of time is wasted due to traffic congestion in both developed and developing countries. This has severe negative effects, including drivers stress due to increased time pressure, reduced usage efficiency of trucks and other commercial vehicles, and increased gas emissions-responsible for climate change and air pollution affecting population health in densely populated areas. As...
Advanced vehicle guidance systems use real-time traffic information to route traffic and to avoid congestion. Unfortunately, these systems can only react upon the presence of traffic jams and not to prevent the creation of unnecessary congestion. Anticipatory vehicle routing is promising in that respect, because this approach allows directing vehicle routing by accounting for traffic forecast information...
Present Traffic Light Controllers (TLC) are based on microcontroller and microprocessor. These TLC have limitations because it uses the pre-defined hardware, which is functioning according to the program that does not have the flexibility of modification on real time basis. Due to the fixed time intervals of green, orange and red signals the waiting time is more and car uses more fuel. To make traffic...
In this paper we are proposing a wireless sensor network based solution for typical indian city traffic. The objective is to understand and solve the congestion of the chaotic traffic. We are proposing to control and optimize the duration of time a signal is green, and the number of vehicles passing through the junction, in a given interval of time. Our objective is to use WSN to make the traffic...
One of the major issues of our daily life is traffic congestion. To help solve the traffic congestion problem, a traffic advisory system is proposed to identify the threshold capacity of a road segment. Threshold capacity measures the number of vehicles which can be allowed to pass over a certain road segment without causing congestion. Threshold capacity is used for suggesting improvements of road...
In the modern city, traffic congestion has become a problem that is urgent to be solved. One most effective way to solve it is giving buses the traffic priority, which can be achieved by proper design of traffic signal phases. This paper took maximal independent set in graph theory as description model to present optimal design of traffic light signal based on bus priority. Then, after both vehicle...
