Hybrid Wireless Sensor-based system for chaotic traffic

Abstract

This paper introduces a system for chaotic traffic control; the proposed system is a simple, sophisticated and robust version of the Intelligent Traffic Light Flow Control System Using Wireless Sensors Networks proposed by Khalil M. et al. The proposed system adopts a simple approach by adding more Traffic Sensing Nodes [TSN] and distributing them in a matrix layout covering the road bed. In addition to controlling the traffic signaling lights, this system also feeds an online map web portal that shows a regularly updated status of the traffic within the concerned intersections. The Traffic Sensing Nodes operate according to the M/M/1/L queue while sensing the traffic.
