Abstract

It  is  a  system  that  manages  the  road  traffic  in  a  city  automatically  by  combination of algorithms, equipment’s and communication networks without involvement of human personnel in decision making according to various kinds of situations of road traffic that arise in a city. The approach of this paper is traffic signaling at a crossing point by measuring traffic density in each road. Also, vehicles that will violate signals at crossing points can be tracked by this system. Sometimes, situations like road congestion  and  exceed  of  limit  of  maximum  traffic  capacity  of  a  road  can  arise  and  this  system  can  also  take  decisions automatically accordingly. Vehicles can never cross the speed limit under this system. The paper is written considering left-hand traffic rule. Keywords: traffic density, operations, control
