The Role of Blockchain, AI and IoT for Smart Road Traffic Management System

Nowadays vehicles are increasing on the road. Due to this, it is a challenge for society to manage traffic jams and road accidents all over the world. Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are very helpful to improve the performance of the overall road safety management system. AI is used for many real-world applications to make any system be a smart system. The Smart Road Traffic Management System (SRTMS) easily recognizes the influence occurs for random changes on road safety. The SRTMS detects the unsafe driving patterns as well as convey the information to the respective authorities. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a boon technology to observe human activities in real-time. IoT devices or nodes are composed of sensors that are commonly utilized to identify and reply to electrical and other signals. Currently, Blockchain (BC) is the most trending technology to automate transactions, which means sharing or exchange of information between the IoT devices or nodes. BC technology facilitates for sharing of information on the network is decentralized, secure, persistent, anonymity, suitability and trustworthy manner. With consensus algorithms and smart contracts, Blockchain holds to manage communication among nodes without the involvement of a third-party or intermediary body. Simultaneously, AI has the ability to offer intelligent and decision-making machines similar to human beings' minds. This paper proposes the SRTMS model for solving the road accident, traffic jam and disseminate the information to all stakeholders. This proposed model is a combination of most trending technologies such as AI, BC, and IoT.
