TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Abstract- This paper briefly discusses the various implementation, advantages, disadvantages of the energy efficient
congestion avoidance system using the traffic signals for the purpose of traffic management in major cities. This is aimed at
providing a solution to the traffic in any big metro cities. This includes the identification of the path where the congestion has
happened and intimating to the nearest possible signals about the congestion in the path. Also the main aim of this system rests
in the fact that the majority of the metro cities face a major problem of traffic congestion. This could be avoided if the vehicles
having an on-board unit in it and have the capacity to inform to its nearest signal to divert the traffic and eliminate the
congestion problem. This system would also be useful in the case of handling the emergency conditions like accident and
vehicle theft. This should be further extended to provide a clear picture on the route that the ambulance should take to reach
the health care unit as soon as possible.

I. INTRODUCTION
Traffic problems are the one of the major problems
that any metro cities in the world would face. Also the
main focus of the traffic management system is the
congestion avoidance. The congestion avoidance
helps in reducing and controlling the traffic of any
particular city. Traffic congestion involves in the
wasting of time of passengers. Delays due to traffic
congestion may result in late arrival for employment,
meetings, and education, resulting in lost business,
disciplinary action or other personal losses [3][4].
Inability to forecast the travel time accurately is
primarily due to traffic congestion. The main
disadvantage is the wasted fuel increasing pollution.
Wear and tear on vehicles thus making financial
losses to the owners due to constant replacement. The
blocked traffic may interfere with the passage of
emergency vehicles traveling to their destinations
where they are urgently needed. There is a higher
chance of collisions due to tight spacing and constant
stopping-and-going. Due to the ever-increasing traffic
demand, modern societies with well-planned road
management systems, and sufficient infrastructures
for transportation still face the problem of traffic
congestion. This results in loss of travel time, and
huge societal and economic costs. Constructing new
roads could be one of the solutions for handling the
traffic congestion problem, but it is often less feasible
due to political and environmental concerns. An
alternative would be to make more efficient use of the
existing infrastructure.
