Abstract

From year to year there is an extended in the number of vehicles on the road that causes heavy traffic. Traffic overcrowding is a growing that everyone is facing in their daily life. To avoid this traffic the manual traffic officer has not proven to be efficient. So, to decrease the traffic we will be using devices to control. The devices such as camera, laser sensor or ultra sonic sensor and raspberry pi. The laser sensor detects the automobiles as it can set signal time rely upon the quantity of vehicles on the road as it can control the traffic and this can be monitored by traffic police just by sitting in a place and they have supervisory role in this traffic management. The city should run smart without any hindrance by applying this kind of devices. The improper maintenance of road and potholes are major cause to road accident which may cause traffic on roads. The traffic overcrowding is because of the large density of automobiles that travels on the road as individuals use their vehicles for travelling short distances instead of using public transport which greatly reduce both pollution and traffic. A traffic management plan typically includes several elements such as identifying the type of traffic present, determining the routes they will take to prevent measures to control traffic flow in a place. Traffic jam fill the streets, road and cause emergency vehicle problem. Sometime it takes about 2 -3 signals time to travel just 1 km. So, this becomes every day routine if we dont take a preventive measure.
