    Transport is one of the key elements in the development of any country; it can be a powerful catalyst for economic growth. However, the infrastructure does not give enough to the huge number of vehicles which produces several problems, particularly in terms of road safety, and loss of time and pollution. One of the most significant problems is congestion, this is a major handicap for the road transport system. An alternative would be to use new technologies in the field of communication to send traffic information such as treacherous road conditions and accident sites by communicating, for a more efficient use of existing infrastructure.  In this paper, we present a CPS system, which can help drivers in order to have a better trip. For this raison we find the optimal way to reduce travel time and fuel consumption. This system based on our recent work [1]. It´s new approach aims to avoid congestion and queues, hat assure more efficient and optimal use of the existing road infrastructure. For that we concentrate by analyzing the useful and reliable traffic information collected in real time. The system is simulated in several conditions, Experimental result show that our approach is very effective. In the future work, we try to improve our system by adding more complexity in our system

    As a component of intelligent transport systems (ITS), vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), which is a subform of manet, has been identified. It is established on the roads based on available vehicles and supporting road infrastructure, such as base stations. An accident can be defined as any activity in the environment that may be harmful to human life or dangerous to human life. In terms of early detection, and broadcast delay. VANET has shown various problems. The available technologies for incident detection and the corresponding algorithms for processing. The present problem and challenges of incident detection in VANET technology are discussed in this paper. The paper also reviews the recently proposed methods for early incident techniques and studies them

    Enhancing road safety and traffic efficiency are the important aspects and goals that automakers and researchers trying to achieve in recent years. The autonomous vehicle technology has been identified as a solution to achieve these goals. However, the adoption of fully autonomous vehicles in the current market is still in the very early stages of deployment. The objective of this paper is to develop a Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) model at a road intersection using platooning car-following mobility models, object detection at traffic light units, and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication through vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). The mobility model considers traffic simulation using the SUMO-PLEXE-VEINS platforms integration. Next, a prototype of an assisted car platooning system consisting of roadside unit (RSU) and on-board units (OBU) is developed using artificial intelligence (AI)-based smart traffic light for obstruction detection at an intersection and modified remote-control cars with V2X communication equipped with in-vehicle alert notification, respectively. The results show accurate detection of obstruction by the proposed assisted car platooning system, and an optimised smart traffic light operation that can reduce congestion and fuel consumption, improve traffic flow, and enhance road safety. The findings from this paper can be used as a baseline for the framework of CACC implementation by legislators, policymakers, infrastructure providers, and vehicle manufacturers
