Towards An Optimized Smart Traffic for Congestion Avoidance with Multi Layered (ST-CA) Framework

In many cities around the world, traffic congestion is considered a major problem that should be managed properly. Managing traffic flow is not simply applied by constructing new road or maintaining old ones; it is not just a matter of physical infrastructure. For managing traffic, there should be ’’smart’’ ways to be taken by the use of available technologies’ facilities. Countries should think and act smart to manage today’s traffic in their cities. The use of controlled smart traffic systems is gaining a noticeable interest for the past few years and various solutions have been proposed, adopted and even implemented in several countries. In this paper, we propose Smart Traffic for Congestion Avoidance with Multi Layered (ST-CA) Framework, for solving the congestion problem. The proposed framework is constructed in multilayer approach for easy maintenance in the future. The STCA framework should be more flexible, in sending/ receiving messages, than others and depend in its decision making on expert systems.
