Abstract

Abstract : With emerging population and transportation in today's world, traffic has become a challenging issue to be addressed. Most of the metropolitan cities are facing various traffic-related issues. This poses the need for a smart traffic system, which could tackle the external environment and provide energy efficient transportation system. Intelligent transportation system (ITS) is required to support traffic management system in smart cities. The existing systems concentrate on the traffic prediction to yield better results. The work in this paper proposes a Smart Traffic Prediction and Congestion Avoidance System (s-TPCA) which helps in better identification of the traffic scenario that in turn helps in predicting and avoiding the congestion. The proposed work uses Poisson distribution for prediction of vehicle arrivals from recurring size. The framework comprises traffic identification, prediction, and congestion avoidance phases. The system checks for the fitness function to determine the traffic intensity and further use predictive analytics to determine the traffic level in future. This also integrates fuel consumption model to save time and energy. The proposed s-TPCA system outperforms the conventional systems in terms of delay and proves to conserve energy. The fuel conservation is observed to be 20% higher than the other existing systems.
