- Abstract
The effective control and management of traffic at intersections is a challenging issue in the transportation system. Various traffic signal management systems have been developed to improve the real-time traffic flow at junctions, but none of them have resulted in a smooth and continuous traffic flow for dealing with congestion at road intersections. Notwithstanding, the procedure of synchronizing traffic signals at nearby intersections is complicated due to numerous borders. In traditional systems, the direction of movement of vehicles, the variation in automobile traffic over time, accidents, the passing of emergency vehicles, and pedestrian crossings are not considered. Therefore, synchronizing the signals over the specific route cannot be addressed. This article explores the key role of real-time traffic signal control (TSC) technology in managing congestion at road junctions within smart cities. In addition, this article provides an insightful discussion on several traffic light synchronization research papers to highlight the practicability of networking of traffic signals of an area. It examines the benefits of synchronizing the traffic signals on various busy routes for the smooth flow of traffic at intersections.
