Smart Traffic Signal Control and Road Safety System Using IoT and Machine Learning

Abstract

This invention presents a Smart Traffic Signal Control and Road Safety System integrating IoT (Internet of Things) technologies with machine learning algorithms to optimize traffic flow and enhance road safety. The system leverages real-time data from IoT-enabled sensors and connected devices installed at intersections and along roads to dynamically adjust traffic signals based on traffic density, pedestrian movement, and environmental conditions. Machine learning models analyze historical and real-time data to predict traffic patterns, identify potential congestion, and detect unsafe behaviors or conditions. The system also provides priority access to emergency vehicles through automated green corridors. Additionally, predictive safety mechanisms alert drivers to potential hazards and recommend preventive measures to avoid accidents. Designed to improve traffic management efficiency and reduce accidents, this invention offers scalable solutions for smart cities, urban traffic networks, and highway safety systems.
