| Abstract |
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 for emergency vehicle passage. The capability of such systems are limited to one or two focus areas and most systems are not cost effective for real time implementation. In order to build a smart city, a comprehensive system for traffic management needs to be built that addresses all traffic related issues, not just traffic congestion. In this paper, a Comprehensive Traffic Management System (CTMS) using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and analytics for real time implementation has been proposed. The system is both cost effective and easy to implement. The outcomes are dynamic traffic signal timers that operate based on vehicular density, deviation of vehicles at previous junctions in case of blockage, traffic signal control for passage of emergency vehicles, detecting red signal violations, detecting road accidents, vehicle breakdowns for providing immediate assistance and tracking of vehicles. |
