Recently, I have been to Bangalore which is the biggest IT hub in the country and has a high population of employed youths. The roads get busy at regular intervals which leads to heavy traffic. People get stuck in traffic almost for hours and reach late to their offices works even there are empty roads. This is due to a regular interval of time for the signal. I was one of them. This is how I got an idea to develop a traffic signal monitoring system based on vehicles count.”BoxHow does it work?A Viswasri said “Traffic Monitoring System uses multiple intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRs) in IoT model to learn vehicles count in real-time and then updates signal timing of every side traffic lights as per the predicting factors based on KNN algorithms. Signals from numerous inputs help to vehicles count available in a traffic signal. So, it will get cleared the dependability of vehicle count to either increase or decreases the timing of particular signals using the algorithms and data analysis. Managing time on the road will decrease the waiting time of the drivers on the road. It also helps to reduce fuel consumption and provide a free lane for an ambulance to rush the patients to the hospital on time.
