TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL FOR URBAN AREA: A SURVEY

Traffic congestion is evolving as a big problem day by day, is has the main drawbacks like if you stuck in traffic you lose your time, at the same time gases evolved from the vehicles leads to pollution which in turn leads your wastage of fuel at respective signals. So, by concerning these factors, we need to optimize the traffic on the signals. In this paper we have made the survey on traffic signal methods, strategies and different algorithm used to control it. Through that we got to know that most of the algorithm have been developed for particular area or region and the other methods are complex, which itself takes time to generate the accurate time for the signal. This paper shows the survey on different methods of traffic signal control.
