Abstract: Traffic Congestion is a major problem in many cities in India and other countries. Signal failure, lax regulation and traffic management have contributed to congestion of traffic. Some of the key issues with Indian cities is that the new network cannot be expanded further and that thus the only option left is better management and living standards It is therefore high time the issue of traffic congestion is to be dealt effectively Traffic control approaches include video data processing, infrared cameras, inductive loop tracking, wireless sensor network, etc. In our study, we use an infrared sensor that can be paired with the existing signaling network that can act as a portal to intelligent traffic management. Additionally, a smartphone application is connected to a centralized system that communicates with the local rescue department about a fire explosion site for further action. There’s also a software application to provide the smart city’s higher authorities with valuable information in graphic formats, which is helpful in future road planning. Automated traffic control and surveillance are essential for the use and maintenance of the highways.
