Intelligent Traffic Control System using Embedded Web Technology

with rapid economic development in many countries, transportation has increasingly become an extremely important component in the national economy and daily life. So it is very essential to build an intelligent traffic control and monitoring system in order to resolve the traffic congestion of roads and reduce accidents. One major factor that affects the traffic flow is the management of the traffic at road intersections in a town or city. In traditional traffic monitoring system, each intersection is controlled by its own controller which sends signals to the intersection’s traffic lights for changing their states. Each intersection controller works independently of each other with no way of being remotely monitored or controlled. With the rise of the Internet technology, embedded Web technology goes into the mainstream at present, and various web scripts and servers support the program running on an embedded device. The managers can manage and monitor traffic situations through the Web browsers. In this work we have utilized the emerging embedded web server technology to design a web-based traffic management system that can remotely control and monitor the traffic at various road intersections simultaneously. The system is aimed at improving the traditional traffic monitoring system by incorporating better management and monitoring schemes as well as providing road users with real time information.
