Abstract
The pathways of information are changing, the physical world itself is becoming a type of information system. In what’s called the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors and actuators embedded in physical objects—from roadways to pacemakers—are linked through wired and wireless networks, often using the same Internet Protocol (IP) that connects the Internet. When objects can both sense the environment and communicate, they become tools for understanding complexity and responding to it swiftly. The revolutionary part in all this is that these physical information systems are now beginning to be deployed, and some of them even work largely without human intervention. This paper has addressed the traffic congestion problem with the help of Internet of Things. Increase in the number of vehicles in cities caused by the population and development of economy, has stimulated traffic congestion problems. It is becoming more serious day after day in the present scenario of developing countries. The reason for the same could be categorized as mismanagement of vehicular movement, ineffective system for controlling the mobility of vehicles, uneven roads and traffic snarl-up. Unexpected vehicular queuing is a major concern leading to wasting time of passengers and thwarting ambulance to reach the destination in time. In addition to that, traffic congestion makes it difficult to forecast the travel time accurately causing drivers to allocate more time in travel than scheduled previously. To ease these mounting traffic problems a demonstration is made on the Proof of Concept (POC) using the smart city data set provided by Telecom Italia of Milan city, to verify that these concepts have the potential for real world application and could be used by the government sectors or private transport organizations to ameliorate the passenger’s comfort on road which are as follows. A central node is developed which sets the speed limit and predicts a normalized speed separately for each locality from the available data set. For efficient control in mobility of vehicles an advanced dynamic digital board is introduced, which displays the speed limit set by the central node time to time. The normalized speed could be used to estimate the effective time taken between destinations precisely. By comparing normalized speed with real time values anomalies in the locality like congestion and presence of uneven roads is predicted. Accident detection model is integrated with the central node which sends a message to dynamic board indicating location of the accident along with the time taken. It even improves traffic flow around the accident occurred location. Central node together with navigation tools could provide re-routed path to the drivers during congestion or accident.
