Real time Traffic alert and lights management system for smart city.

Abstract

A smart city is a very hot topic nowadays. Citizens of India are very excited about it. The government is taking so much initiative for the purpose of providing opportunities to other countries for contributing for the development of digital India and in this mission, the internet of things (IOT) will play very important role like a backbone for the smart city.

Internet of Things will allow devices to communicate to each other over the internet and such communication will result into the generation of high volume, high velocity and variety data which needs to be ingested by IT backbone to provide insights and create alerts to facilitate free-flowing traffic inside the smart city. A smart city will result in huge consumption of electricity unless managed smartly. This research project is aimed at looking at how sensors can be deployed and integrated in smart city IT infrastructure to enable efficient management of traffic and electricity consumption.
