Smart Traffic Light Control on Edge in IOT-Regulated Intersections
Traffic is a well-known everyday problem that standard traffic lights controllers can struggle to deal with,
especially in highly populated cities, resulting in congestion at the intersections and the consequent formation of queues.Smart
traffic lights management, relying on Internet of Things (IoT) concepts and devices, may be adopted to mitigate this
phenomenon. In this paper, we propose a Smart Intersection for Smart Traffic (SIST) regulated model using the max-pressure
controller algorithm to dynamically modulate the duration of traffic lights, implemented on real-time embedded hardware and
using data coming from local sensors and the IoT network.Compared to standard, fixed-duration control schemes, the
dynamically IoT-regulated SIST model ensures overall reduction of the queue lengths, resulting in improved prevention of link
overload by about 7% compared to the most favorable fixed-duration model
