Abstract

In India, high traffic on roads is a major cause for human stress as well as it leads to environmental pollution. In developing countries including India, due to the fixed time control system, problems are arising for all people in the form of accidents, health hazards, and environmental pollution, etc. Due to emerging vehicles and population, there is a requirement for an efficient system through which traffic could be handled. Lot of research has been done to design the systems for better traffic management. In conventional system, fixed time is given for green, red, and yellow signals regardless of the traffic density as well as without considering the presence of emergency vehicle. To remove the anomalies of conventional system, a new fuzzy-based approach is proposed to handle traffic which gives preference to high priority vehicles like ambulance, fire brigade, police van, etc. Thus, waiting time of the priority vehicles have been reduced and overall traffic flow rate is improved. In this paper, comparison of fixed time-based system is done with fuzzy-based system considering emergency vehicles presence on road.
