    Traffic Management ICT

    Traffic management uses computer modelling to control road traffic signals and flow efficiently. It aims to accommodate traffic safely by reducing accidents and problems. Two methods are closure of motorway lanes, where the impact of roadwork is modelled, and traffic light simulation, where data on vehicle numbers and times is collected through sensors and entered into a computer model to test different light timing scenarios and traffic flows. Computer modelling provides effective real-time traffic management by minimizing waiting times at signals.

    TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

    using computer modelling


    WHAT IS TRAFFIC
    MANAGEMENT?

    The control of road traffic using computer


    modelling.
    We can also say it's an efficient wayb for traffic
    signal light control using image processing.
    One of the main objectives is to accommodate
    traffic safely and efficiently to avoid problems
    on the road and cities and to reduce accidents.
    We can consider two different methods of
    traffic management

    (1) Closure of motorway lanes.


    (2) Traffic light simulation.
    CLOSURE OF MOTORWAY LANES

    Means a closure of an individual lane or lanes for the


    purpose of the work while maintaining traffic flow in the
    direction of travel
    The company given the task to carry out this work has to
    model the impact of the roadwork on the traffic flow.
    They have to model several ways controlling traffic at
    first.
    The two models shown in pictures will appear on the computer
    screen representing the motorway lanes.

    The company will rum model A and B using different traffic densities at
    different times of the day to see which allows for the best traffic flow.
    TRAFFIC LIGHT SIMULATION

    In this simulation, it is necessary to consider:


    How and what data needs to be collected
    How the simulation is carried out
    how the system would work in real life
    How and what data needs to be collected?
    Data needs to be collected by watching traffic
    for a long period of time.
    It is best done by using induction loop sensors
    which count the number of vehicles at ecah road.
    Kind of data that needs to be collected

    the number of vehicles passing the road in all


    directions
    how many vehicles build up at the junction at
    different times of the day
    how long it takes a vehicle to clear the junction
    other data needs to be considered
    ( people crossings roads)
    How is the simulation carried out?

    Data from the previous list is entered into the computer and the
    computer model is run.
    After modelling, different scenarios can be tried out.
    For example,
    Varying the timing of the lights and observing how the traffic
    flow was affected
    Changing the number of vehicles and timimg of light to see how
    the traffic flow is affected
    Increasing or decreasing traffic flow in all directions
    How would the system work in real life|?

    Sensors on the road gathers data and count the numbers of


    vehicles
    This data is sent to a control box or to a computer.
    The gathered data is compared to data stored in the system
    The control box is compared to data stored in the system
    The control box or computer decides what action needs to be
    taken.
    Signals are then sent out to the traffic lights to change their
    timing if necessary.
    CONCLUSION

    Computer modelling will provide effective traffic


    management by the real time of vehicles and minimize
    waiting time at traffic signals.This also helps to find the
    path for emergency condition.
