Design and Implementation of a Dynamic Intelligent Traffic Control System

The worst enemy of people living an urban lifestyle is commute. The exponential increase in the number of vehicles and public transport options has led to an inevitable increase in congestion of pathways, which has, necessitated the need for an efficient traffic congestion control method. In this paper we propose an intelligent dynamic traffic control system. The system is aimed at achieving traffic control in developing countries such as India, where additional parameters need to be considered such as road quality. It operates on the principle that "At any instant of time, no vehicle must be allowed to wait for more time than the average vehicle waiting time, at that instant". Also, it accomplishes prioritizing of vehicles such as ambulances and detection of unprecedented events such as road accidents. The objective of the proposed system is to reduce the average waiting time that each vehicle has to wait, before it is allowed to pass, while also ensuring uniformity in the waiting times.
