Reduction of congestion and signal waiting time

Abstract

In this current scenario, vehicular ad-hoc networks are expected to provide support to a large range of distributed applications which ranges from traffic management, dynamic route planning to location based services. Traffic jams on the roads is a very serious issue that needs immediate attention. Various algorithms and solutions have been suggested in the field of VANETs to remove the problem of traffic congestion and waiting time. At initial level, it is not feasible to implement the proposed solution in the real world so a small area of Noida was taken up for real time simulations. The traffic simulation was created and observed using SUMO and NS2. This was in done in order to note the behavior of traffic light and congestion at the junctions and the results were further calculated and verified using AODV and GPSR protocol.
