Smart Traffic Management System Using Multithreading and Inter-process Communication

Abstract

The congestion of urban traffic is one of the critical issues of the present day. Traffic jams cause an increase in fuel consumption, add transportation costs, increase carbon dioxide based air pollution and of course causes extra delay and stress for drivers. Existing Traffic management systems suffer from several shortcomings, such as Static Traffic signal controller, lack of proper mechanism to prevent further congestion on already crowded roads etc. Hence we aim to design and test an efficient Smart Traffic Management System that overcomes various limitations of existing systems in use. © 2021 IEEE.
