IoT based smart traffic control system using sumo traffic simulator

Abstract

Traffic congestion is the most alarming problem in the world now. Huge amount of different types of pollution and wastage of resources are seen due to traffic related issues. People waste a lot of time in traffic which is never said to be productive. Traffic problems cause damage to the people, their vehicles, environment they live on, and even the animals around them. Violating traffic rules is the most common reason of having a poor traffic condition for a certain area or country. This eventually give rises to other traffic problems throughout the world. Therefore design of smart traffic system using IoT is a reliable solution. Having a smart traffic system can minimize the traffic issues over time. Technology has improved a lot within last few decades. Using IoT wireless the traffic can be monitored, based on the monitored data automatically traffic signals can be controlled. Thus traffic can be developed. Using image processing, if anyone tries to violate traffic rules can be taken under law. People also can get traffic status of any road if smart traffic control system is implemented at that certain area. By this way, through developing every now and then, a very strong smart traffic control system can be implemented. Over time traffic issues can be eliminated from the world.
