Abstract :
An Intelligent Traffic System (ITS) involves a much closer interaction between all of its components: drivers, pedestrians, public transportation and traffic management systems. Adaptive signal systems, driver advisory and route planning and automated vehicles are some of the goals set up to increase the efficiency of actual systems. Vehicular network became one of the most active and emerging fields of research during last decade. Its use in diversified applications (for example safe driving, congestion avoidance, parking assist system and even entertainment) will soon bring revolutionary changes in transportation system. In this paper we have reviewed applications of wireless sensor network towards developing an efficient system to control and manage smooth traffic flow.
