Design and Implementation of an ML and IoT Based Adaptive Traffic-Management System for Smart Cities

Abstrak

The rapid growth in the number of vehicles has led to traffic congestion, pollution, and delays in logistic transportation in metropolitan areas. IoT has been an emerging innovation, moving the universe towards automated processes and intelligent management systems. This is a critical contribution to automation and smart civilizations. Effective and reliable congestion management and traffic control help save many precious resources. An IoT-based ITM system set of sensors is embedded in automatic vehicles and intelligent devices to recognize, obtain, and transmit data. Machine learning (ML) is another technique to improve the transport system. The existing transport-management solutions encounter several challenges resulting in traffic congestion, delay, and a high fatality rate. This research work presents the design and implementation of an Adaptive Traffic-management system (ATM) based on ML and IoT. The design of the proposed system is based on three essential entities: vehicle, infrastructure, and events. The design utilizes various scenarios to cover all the possible issues of the transport system. The proposed ATM system also utilizes the machine-learning-based DBSCAN clustering method to detect any accidental anomaly. The proposed ATM model constantly updates traffic signal schedules depending on traffic volume and estimated movements from nearby crossings. It significantly lowers traveling time by gradually moving automobiles across green signals and decreases traffic congestion by generating a better transition. The experiment outcomes reveal that the proposed ATM system significantly outperformed the conventional traffic-management strategy and will be a frontrunner for transportation planning in smart-city-based transport systems. The proposed ATM solution minimizes vehicle waiting times and congestion, reduces road accidents, and improves the overall journey experience.

AI Perspectives in Smart Cities and Communities to Enable Road Vehicle Automation and Smart Traffic Control

Smart cities and communities (SCC) constitute a new paradigm in urban development. SCC ideate a data-centered society aimed at improving efficiency by automating and optimizing activities and utilities. Information and communication technology along with Internet of Things enables data collection and with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) situation awareness can be obtained to feed the SCC actors with enriched knowledge. This paper describes AI perspectives in SCC and gives an overview of AI-based technologies used in traffic to enable road vehicle automation and smart traffic control. Perception, smart traffic control and driver modeling are described along with open research challenges and standardization to help introduce advanced driver assistance systems and automated vehicle functionality in traffic. To fully realize the potential of SCC, to create a holistic view on a city level, availability of data from different stakeholders is necessary. Further, though AI technologies provide accurate predictions and classifications, there is an ambiguity regarding the correctness of their outputs. This can make it difficult for the human operator to trust the system. Today there are no methods that can be used to match function requirements with the level of detail in data annotation in order to train an accurate model. Another challenge related to trust is explainability: models can have difficulty explaining how they came to certain conclusions, so it is difficult for humans to trust them.

Image Processing Based Smart Traffic Control System for Smart City

Constant spike in the types of vehicles, absence of efficient road traffic management, and technical failures in traffic light management devices all cause redoubled traffic congestion, emissions, and noise pollution in smart cities. Conventional traffic control systems do not handle the complex traffic flow at the junctions, whereas existing traffic control systems work on fixed time-based techniques. In this paper, a real-time traffic management system to control the traffic flow by calculating percentage match using Canny Edge detection technique, which is an image processing method, along with a digital image processing tool in MATLAB is proposed. The proposed system which is designed and verified using Proteus software offers improvement in response time and overall efficiency of the existing traffic control system. The traffic control system with advanced features like emergency vehicle situations is also incorporated into the proposed image processing based traffic control system to improve its resilience and reliability.

Effective Real-Time Urban Traffic Routing: An Automated Planning Approach

M. Vallati L. Chrpa

One of the pivotal challenges presented to urban road traffic controllers is the effective utilisation of transport infrastructure, as a result of growing urbanisation, the finite network capacity, and of the increasing number of road vehicles. In this context, the arrival of connected vehicles present a unique opportunity for a fundamental change in urban traffic control. Urban traffic control approaches should then take an active role in integrating connected vehicles into the mobility ecosystem in order to maximise benefits.To support such integration, in this work we propose to leverage automated planning, a well-studied branch of artificial intelligence, to perform real-time traffic routing in urban areas. We describe the proposed approach, and we demonstrate its effectiveness using real-world historical data of a UK town.

1 Maret 2023

As technology continues to develop, computer vision (CV) applications are becoming increasingly widespread in the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) context. These applications are developed to improve the efficiency of transportation systems, increase their level of intelligence, and enhance traffic safety. Advances in CV play an important role in solving problems in the fields of traffic monitoring and control, incident detection and management, road usage pricing, and road condition monitoring, among many others, by providing more effective methods. This survey examines CV applications in the literature, the machine learning and deep learning methods used in ITS applications, the applicability of computer vision applications in ITS contexts, the advantages these technologies offer and the difficulties they present, and future research areas and trends, with the goal of increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety level of ITS. The present review, which brings together research from various sources, aims to show how computer vision techniques can help transportation systems to become smarter by presenting a holistic picture of the literature on different CV applications in the ITS context.

A Social Internet of Things Smart City Solution for Traffic and Pollution Monitoring in Cagliari

In the last years, the smart city (SC) paradigm has been deeply studied to support sustainable mobility and to improve human living conditions. In this context, a new SC based on the Social Internet of Things paradigm is presented in this article. Starting from the tracking of all vehicles (that is, private and public) and pedestrians, integrated with air quality measurements (that is, in real time by mobile and fixed sensors), the system aims to improve the viability of the city, both for pedestrian and vehicular users. A monitoring network based on sensors and devices hosted on board in local public transport allows real-time monitoring of the most sensitive areas both from traffic congestion and from an environmental point of view. The proposed solution is equipped with an appropriate intelligence that takes into account instantaneous speed, type of traffic, and instantaneous pollution data, allowing to evaluate the congestion and pollution condition in a specific moment. Moreover, specific tools support the decisions of public administration facilitating the identification of the most appropriate actions for the implementation of effective policies relating to mobility. All collected data are elaborated in real time to improve traffic viability suggesting new directions and information to citizens to better organize how to live in the city.
