Adaptive Traffic Signal Control with VANET

Minal K. Avzekar; Amruta Moon

Abstract: A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network or VANET is a technology used to collect and aggregate real-time speed and position information on individual vehicles to optimize signal control at traffic intersections. Today VANET used mainly for the purpose for the public safety, the comfort, Travelers Information, Traffic Management, Traffic coordination and Assistance etc. Today?s many of the things get controlled automatically. Everything is getting controlled using the mechanical or the automated systems. In every field machines are doing the human works. But still some area is controlled manually. For example traffic controls, road control, parking controlling. Keeping these things in mind we are trying to develop the project to automate the traffic tracking for the square. To make any project more useful and acceptable by any organization we need to provide multiple features in a single project. Keeping these things in consideration proposed system is less with multiple methodologies which can be used in traffic control system.
