ABSTRACT
Rapid urbanization and the continuous increase in vehicular population have made traffic congestion a critical challenge in modern cities. Conventional fixed-time traffic signal systems operate on predefined intervals and fail to adapt to real-time traffic conditions, resulting in longer waiting times, fuel wastage, increased air pollution, and delayed emergency response. This review paper presents an IoT-based Dynamic Traffic Signal Management System that utilizes real-time data collected from sensors and cameras installed at road intersections to optimize traffic signal timings. The proposed system dynamically adjusts green, yellow, and red signal durations based on vehicle density, ensuring efficient traffic flow and reduced congestion. Additionally, it incorporates an emergency vehicle prioritization mechanism to facilitate the rapid movement of ambulances, fire trucks, and police vehicles. Integration with cloud platforms enables data storage, monitoring, and traffic analysis for better decision-making and future planning. The review highlights system architecture, hardware and software requirements, advantages, feasibility, challenges, and future scope of IoT-enabled traffic management. Overall, the IoT-based dynamic traffic control approach offers a scalable, energy-efficient, and smart solution for sustainable urban traffic management and smart city applications.
