IoT-based Cloud using in Intelligent Transportation System and the traffic control system for the smart city Bhagalpur, Bihar

The concept of smart cities defined decades back has been starting to take shape in reality. It requires stakeholders and policies, convergence of technologies to design a model smart city that allows infrastructure, vehicular movement through traffic to be optimised. Using IoT-based Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and Traffic Control System (TCS), the current research focussed on Bhagalpur city test piloting the design setup. Cross sectional traffic congestion data of Bhagalpur, map volume of vehicles at any time approaching the intersection, segregate lean-peak traffic congestion. Real time data warnings to Bhagalpur drivers about possible delays at the traffic intersections. It helps to avoid delay, allowing them to reroute, improve traffic flow, reduced congestion. Cloud platform using data analytics in real time and relayed through 5G network for Bhagalpur drivers in traffic congestion where intelligent traffic control framework helped to leverage IoT-based cloud computing. Improvements of IoT based ITS embedded in Cloud platform, in existing traffic management indicating reduced travel times, and enhanced overall transportation efficiency demonstrating integration of fusion of technologies. Results confirmed that application of multiple technologies at hardware-software across urban city infrastructure helps in designing IoT-based ITS capturing live data for reduced travel times, and enhanced overall transportation efficiency. Outcomes showed that traffic intersection delays, queue lengths to be controlled with adaptive signal control, improved travel times and traffic distribution across network with dynamic route optimization.
