Intelligent traffic information system based on integration of internet of things and agent technology

Abstract

Traffic light control systems are widely used to monitor and control the flow of automobiles through the junction of many roads. Their aim is to realize smooth motion of cars in the transportation routes. However, the synchronization of multiple traffic light systems at adjacent intersections is a complicated problem given the various parameters involved. Conventional systems do not handle variable flows approaching the junctions. In addition, the mutual interference between adjacent traffic light systems, the disparity of cars flow with time, the accidents, the passage of emergency vehicles are not implemented in the existing traffic system. We propose a system based on Arduino and IoT that evaluates the proximity of an ambulance or any emergency vehicle to traffic lights and communicates with them to offer them quick and special passage especially during traffic jam.
