Vigorous algorithms to control urban vehicle traffic

Abstract

Currently digital systems are mostly used in vehicle traffic, airplane and many other systems due to the exponential growth in the computational capabilities of processor based systems. This technology has minimized the effort, manpower and increased the traffic flow. Our research proposes algorithms for agent-based autonomous controller (ABAC) that will help to manage the road traffic in an efficient and secure way. These algorithms calculate the appropriate time for each side of the traffic signal as well as signal cycle time without human intervention. It also provides immediate and safe passage for an ambulance. The proposed algorithms use sound and sonic sensors that are used to identify the emergency vehicle with direction for immediate response and report to next signal for its smooth passage.
