Scheduling and optimization of traffic lights on a T junction using a wireless sensor network

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of how to schedule and optimize traffic lights using Intelligent Transport Systems. In this work we present the scheduling and optimization algorithms that we developed and how we tested them by connecting different simulators to evaluate their efficiency. The developed algorithms have been tested on a T-Junction. The road network is simulated using Mobility model generator for VEhicular networks (MOVE) and Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) while the wireless sensor network is simulated by Network Simulator (NS).
