Internet of things based : adaptive traffic light system based on real-time sensing and estimated traffic flow

Abstract

With the growing number of vehicles; the traffic and congestion levels has been increasing significantly causing more time lost and an increased pollution. Many approaches were taken trying to reduce this jamming issue such as the promotion and organization of public transport, restricting laws, and the expansion of the infrastructure. This project returns to the base level of vehicular traffic network by transforming the traditional traffic light system into a smart adaptive traffic light. This system bases its distribution of green light time on calculated values brought by sensors spread across the roads, where all elements are interconnected through the emerging technology of the Internet of Things.
