The traffic control system in India is now inflexible to the continuously increas- ing number of vehicles on road. Fixed light timing systems are a poor method controlling flow. Traffic lights fundamental component flow through predetermined waiting and going times. A smart approach adjust based each lane part an intelligent system. average journey time for passengers will be reduced while safe...

This paper presents a traffic control system, called ARTC, which addresses frequent oc­ currences of congestion and provides areawide traffic progression. The signal controllers in ARTC are interconnected through a computer network. By exchanging traffic flow in­ formation among the signal controllers, ARTC provides a new concept in areawide traffic control. With a global view of the traffic in...

Traffic signals are one of the major components of arterial traffic network. A well designed signal setting benefits on increasing network efficiency and safety, on the contrary a poor setting could cause various problems. Many signal operation and optimization modes have been developed to deal with different traffic conditions. However researches related with evaluation of traffic signal effic...

Most approaches for optimizing traffic signal timings deal with the daily traffic. However, there are a few occasional events like football matches or concerts of musicians that lead to exceptional traffic situations. Still, such events occur more or less regularly and place and time are known in advance. Hence, it is possible to anticipate such events with special signal timings. In this paper...

Electronic traffic signal has the advantage of being easily visible to machines. It is expected to augment the traditional traffic light system in future intelligent transportation environments, where intelligent vehicles interact with each other and with traffic systems and give informed advisories to drivers. One problem with wireless signals is that they are essentially omnidirectional. Even...
