Smart Technologies for Comprehensive Traffic Control and Management

Abstract

Every day, many road accidents take place in different parts of the world. Thousands of people die in these accidents, and many more are injured, leaving some of them with crippling and permanent disabilities. Different countries employ different traffic management methods based on their requirement, and social, geographical and cultural needs. Information technology plays a decisive role in managing traffic and reducing incidents. Many researchers have contributed to improve the ways of traffic management, by using technology. However, we do not find a comprehensive management solution to take care of all traffic related issues. In this paper, based on demonstrated benefits, significance and capabilities, we identify technologies and tools to form a comprehensive solution for managing all traffic related problems.
