Intelligent Traffic Management System Using Iot

Abstract

All metropolitan cities face traffic congestion problems especially in the downtown areas. Normal cities can be transformed into “smart cities” by exploiting the information and communication technologies (ICT). The paradigm of the Internet of Things(IOT) can play an important role in the realization of smart cities. This abstract proposes an IOT based traffic management solution provides a smooth flow for the ambulance to reach the hospitals in time and thus minifying the expiration. The idea behind the scheme is to implement an ITS which would control mechanically the traffic lights in the path of the ambulance. The ambulance is controlled by the central unit which furnishes the most scant route to the ambulance and also controls the traffic light according to the ambulance location and thus reaching the hospital safely. Traffic signal shows green light to the ambulance path.
