A Review of Different Components of the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS)

Abstract

Traffic congestion is a serious challenge in urban areas. So, to address this challenge, the intelligent traffic management system (ITMS) is used to manage traffic on road networks. Managing traffic helps to focus on environmental impacts as well as emergency situations. However, the ITMS system has many challenges in analyzing scenes of complex traffic. New technologies such as computer vision (CV) and artificial intelligence (AI) are being used to solve these challenges. As a result, these technologies have made a distinct identity in the surveillance industry, particularly when it comes to keeping a constant eye on traffic scenes. There are many vehicle attributes and existing approaches that are being used in the development of ITMS, along with imaging technologies. In this paper, we reviewed the ITMS-based components that describe existing imaging technologies and existing approaches on the basis of their need for developing ITMS. The first component describes the traffic scene and imaging technologies. The second component talks about vehicle attributes and their utilization in existing vehicle-based approaches. The third component explains the vehicle’s behavior on the basis of the second component’s outcome. The fourth component explains how traffic-related applications can assist in the management and monitoring of traffic flow, as well as in the reduction of congestion and the enhancement of road safety. The fifth component describes the different types of ITMS applications. The sixth component discusses the existing methods of traffic signal control systems (TSCSs). Aside from these components, we also discuss existing vehicle-related tools such as simulators that work to create realistic traffic scenes. In the last section named discussion, we discuss the future development of ITMS and draw some conclusions. The main objective of this paper is to discuss the possible solutions to different problems during the development of ITMS in one place, with the help of components that would play an important role for an ITMS developer to achieve the goal of developing efficient ITMS.

Trend analysis of traffic management based on literature data mining and graph analysis tools

“…(1) Engineering practice of traffic management Traffic management technology is developing in the direction of multisource information perception, intelligent traffic control [126] and intelligent traffic management platform construction [127] to further improve traffic efficiency and provide more convenient travel information services for travellers. Meanwhile, the introduction and development of "smart expressways" and "smart cities" also have higher requirements for traffic management technology.…”

Revolutionizing Tourism: Harnessing the Power of IoT in Smart Destinations

“…Furthermore, the emergence of connected transportation contributes to environmental sustainability. With data-driven insights, cities can develop strategies to reduce emissions and promote eco-friendly modes of transport [16]. For instance, IoT sensors on buses can monitor air quality and optimize routes to minimize pollution in densely populated areas (Figure 2).…”

Scalable Reinforcement Learning Framework for Traffic Signal Control Under Communication Delays

“…foundational, struggle to accommodate the inherently dynamic and stochastic nature of traffic flow, often leading to inefficient traffic light timing and more congestion. Moreover, the parameterization of these systems involves extensive expertise, rendering them less adaptable to the unpredictable patterns of real-world traffic conditions [5].…”
