Device to device interaction analysis in IoT based Smart Traffic Management System: An experimental approach

Device to Device Communication pattern is analyzed for IoT based Smart Traffic Management System in the paper. In this type of communication pattern there is no any human intervention in a system because of direct communication between the devices, hence it is completely automated. D2D Communication Patterns are in great demand in IoT sector where a Thing (Device) is controlled by Internet from any remote place by using another Device. Here in an experiment of Smart Traffic Management System the method to determine Traffic Density on a particular lane is discussed. Ultrasonic Sensors are employed as the data acquisition unit to collect the information regarding Traffic Density and Raspberry Pi is used as Control Unit for processing the data. The information regarding traffic density sensed is processed and transmitted to the users provided with Android Application, where the user get a notification about the traffic density in that particular lane and hence assist to take an alternate path.
