Traffic management refers to the planning, control, and coordination of road networks to ensure smooth traffic flow, minimize congestion, and enhance road safety. With rapid urbanization and increasing vehicle numbers, modern cities require intelligent traffic management solutions to prevent delays, accidents, and pollution.

Key Components of Traffic Management Systems
1. Traffic Signals and Control Systems
Adaptive Traffic Lights: Use AI and real-time data to adjust light timings based on traffic flow.

Smart Pedestrian Crossings: Sensors detect pedestrian movement and adjust signals accordingly.

Connected Traffic Signals: Communicate with vehicles and other infrastructure for efficiency.

2. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
Real-time Traffic Monitoring: Uses CCTV cameras, GPS, and sensors to analyze congestion patterns.

Automated Toll Collection: Reduces delays using RFID-based or electronic toll collection.

Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Communication: Enables cars to receive live traffic updates.

3. Traffic Enforcement Technologies
Automated Speed Cameras: Detect and penalize speed violations.

Red-Light Cameras: Capture vehicles running red lights to improve compliance.

AI-Based Violation Detection: Identifies illegal lane changes and unauthorized parking.
