Abstract

In cities now a days the problem of traffic congestion is increasing gradually. Around 60% of the population are urban residents. To accommodate all the needs of transportation of population more vehicles are required to keep the demand of shortage of vehicles. So more vehicles means more traffic congestion. Cities are mainly affected by traffic congestion. Just due to heavy traffic India lost about $21.3 billion annually. Here Internet of things (IoT) can play an important role in the solving problem of traffic congestion .We are using Ultrasonic sensor to get the density of each lane in traffic lanes. Based on the density of each lane traffic signal would flash the stretch of green. This system will help dynamically control the traffic signals, which will be helpful in reducing traffic congestion as well it will reduce losses occurs due to traffic jams.
