Smart Signaling: A Smart Internet of Things Assisted Traffic Light Controlling and Monitoring System using Intelligent Sensors

In contemporary urban environments, efficient traffic management stands as a paramount challenge, necessitating innovative solutions to mitigate congestion, enhance safety, and reduce environmental impact. This paper proposes a Smart Internet of Things (IoT)-assisted Traffic Light Controlling and Monitoring System designed to revolutionize traffic management through real-time data acquisition, analysis, and dynamic control mechanisms. The system integrates edge devices equipped with a variety of sensors, cloud-based infrastructure, and intelligent algorithms to optimize traffic flow at intersections. Leveraging technologies such as AWS IoT, Lambda, and QuickSight, alongside communication protocols like MQTT and HTTP, the system enables seamless device management, secure data transmission, and scalable real-time analytics. Hardware components including microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators facilitate precise data collection, allowing for accurate traffic monitoring and adaptive signal control. Through comprehensive traffic flow analysis, congestion reduction strategies, environmental impact assessments, safety enhancements, and system performance optimizations, the proposed system aims to revolutionize urban traffic management, leading to smoother traffic flow, reduced congestion, improved safety, and enhanced environmental sustainability.
