Traffic Congestion Detection Using Active RFID Under Thingspeak in Smart Cities

Most urban regions have significant challenges due to road traffic. Solving this problem is crucial given the daily increase in automobile traffic. No automated method that controls traffic based on recognized levels of congestion is offered by studies on the use of currently available, widely utilised technologies for traffic congestion and detection control. In light of the rate at which traffic is increasing in metropolitan areas, the purpose of this article is to suggest an efficient plan for managing traffic on the roads that is totally automated and error-proof. In this study, we analyse the most popular and extensively used methods for traffic monitoring and congestion control, along with its shortcomings, and we also provide an alternate model for the same that makes use of RFID technology.
