Intelligent Traffic Management System

Introduction Traffic signals serve a major role when it comes to the effective functioning of road networks, especially in urban areas. The objective of this project is to develop and simulate an effective and efficient system that manages vehicular traffic via signalized control to optimize intersection signal timing and cycle length The main performance measure to indicate whether the system performs to this standard is delay. The goal is to minimize delay and maximize junction utilization. The demand for such system designed to minimize delays increases with the growing population and urbanization. There are two main categories of signalized traffic control: fixed timing and adaptive / traffic responsive control. Fixed timing control employs cycles of a fixed duration. They do not take into consideration traffic volumes or time of day - they are static. With adaptive/responsive control, the traffic volumes are taken into consideration the cycle length is based on the traffic volume. This is a more dynamic and efficient approac
