Abstract

In most cosmopolitan cities like Bengaluru, the major problems are the woes of congestion, such as increased vehicular density, travel time, stress, and vehicular carbon emissions are the major problems. These issues have led to quantifiable and non-quantifiable losses, such as high vehicle operation and maintenance costs, reduced human productivity and mobility, increased health hazards, etc. Sustainable transportation coupled with Technological interventions could alleviate these issues by efficiently managing the traffic flow. The major aims of this work are to reduce the overall commute time, traffic congestion, and air pollution, making the commutation of public stress-free and happy. So, we propose a comprehensive Real-time Traffic Signal Optimizer and Regulator (RTSOR) that identifies the right High-Density Corridors (HDC) and achieves these aims by successfully attaining the coordination among the Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System (ATSCS) fixed on the successive junctions of HDC considered in this work as a pilot initiative by upgrading the existing traffic signal in Bengaluru City to the latest ATSCS technology. Implementing this proposed RTSOR has effectively lessened the waiting time in traffic, travel time, and fuel consumption and improved air quality by reducing pollution and lowering stress levels, leading to improved quality of health and life of the public. In Bengaluru city, the current innovation would be implemented for the first time, and no prior model exists that could help optimize the travel time. The method that the study envisaged through RTSOR focuses on collecting real-time data on an HDC to elucidate our claim of originality in reducing the delay time on roads by signal synchronization.
