Adaptive Density-Based Traffic Management System utilizing Ultrasonic Units and RODEM Algorithm

In urban regions, many vehicles are used by people to commute daily; hence, a large amount of traffic can be observed on the roads daily: Managing this traffic is one of the most important responsibilities to avoid accidents, delays, and mishaps and to allow everyone to pass through as safely and quickly as possible. With an increase in the number of vehicles and thus traffic on roads, manual and fixed timing management systems are no longer adequate, prompting the development of camera-based traffic management systems. These systems are based on image capture and analysis to determine real-time traffic on roads and control traffic via traffic lights based on the analysis. Still, they are not scalable to a nation wide region, where our proposed systems enter the picture. In this work, we offer a RODEM-based low-cost, simple, traffic density-based management system that can effectively manage traffic and be installed and maintained on a large scale at a low cost. Our proposed sensing unit weighs significantly less and has a significantly smaller form factor than conventional systems In this work, we further expand on our RODEM algorithm and how our system can effectively address all the challenges mentioned.
