Intelligent Traffic Monitoring System

Traffic congestion in cities is a major problem mainly in developing countries; to encounter this, many models of traffic system have been proposed by different scholars. Different ways have been proposed to make the traffic system smarter, reliable, and robust. This paper presents the various approaches made to enhance the traffic system across the globe. A comparative study has been made of different potential researches in which intelligent traffic system (ITS) emerges as an important application area. Important key points of each research are highlighted and judged on the basis of implementing them in developing countries like India. A model is also proposed which uses infrared proximity sensors and a centrally placed microcontroller and uses vehicular length along a length to implement intelligent traffic monitoring system.
