Removing traffic congestion at traffic lights using GPS technology

Abstract

In present-day the most common issues that concerns everyone is traffic congestion on road at crossings where traffic light poles are placed. The objective is to flow and maintain traffic system automatically but unfortunately jamming queue exists while everything is fine from technology point of view because of predefined static time duration. This predefined time slots fail to capture real time scenarios in terms of traffic load and that leads to congestion. To avoid such type of problem, this work contributes the concept of dynamic traffic light slots as a best possible solution. Dynamic traffic light is a concept of controlling the time duration of RED and GREEN light according to traffic flow or by sensing flow of traffic on road in movement. This can be achieved by using Global Positioning System which will convey the details of traffic flow and by considering that, time slots are provided to traffic lights i.e. whole controlling and managing will work like Real Time System.
