Abstract

The increase in the number of vehicles has led to Traffic congestion. During the buy hours of the day, the traffic is at its peak and there are various problems related to traffic congestion. For the emergency conditions such ambulance, fire engines to pass through, the congestion possesses a hindrance. To recover for the lost time spent in congestion people tend to hurry and disperse the congestion, causing accidents. The smoke released from the vehicles and the honking of the horns causes air and noise pollution. To overcome these problems, a system has to be designed which can alert for congestion. Traffic congestion alert system using GSM does the needful and thus helps in reducing the traffic congestion.
