“…As Traffic lights to ensure that traffic and pedestrians move as smoothly, and safely as possible requires more than light control and coordination [1]. A variety of different control systems are used to accomplish this, ranging from simple clockwork mechanisms to sophisticated computerized control and coordination systems that selfadjust to minimize delay for people using the road.…”

Traffic control system is an imperative instrument in traffic management and smart urban development. However, most of the current traffic control systems cannot intercommunicate nor interact with each other. Most importantly, none of these systems are proactive and reactive to their immediate traffic environment. Thus, this study explores the design of an agent-based traffic control system where traffic lights can interact and inter-communicate to take prompt traffic control decisions within a traffic area. The study presents an agent-based traffic control system known as ATC. ATC system design was done using Design Science Research Process Model while the system was evaluated using qualitative research methodology. The study argues that there is need for traffic control system to be more reactive and proactive to their immediate traffic environment in order to limit traffic jam in urban areas.

Air pollution generated by road traffic in large cities is a great concern in today's society since pollution has an important impact on human health, even causing premature deaths. To address the problem, this paper presents an Intelligent Transportation System model based on Complex Event Processing technology and Colored Petri Nets (CPNs). It takes into consideration the levels of environmental pollution and road traffic, according to the air quality levels accepted by the international recommendations as well as the handbook emission factors for road transport methodology. This proposal, therefore, tackles a common problem in today's large cities, where traffic restrictions must be applied due to environmental pollution. CPNs are used in this work as a tool to make decisions about traffic regulations, so as to reduce pollution levels.

“…There are many considerations such as limiting the number of vehicles, reducing the use of vehicles and dissemination of electric vehicles in order to reduce the primary carbon footprint from vehicles. However, a more important issue to consider is how to reduce the carbon footprint in the current situation (Sovacool & Brown, 2010, Piecky & McKinnon, 2010, Sharma & Mishra, 2013, Qi et. al., 2016).…”

With the increase in the number of vehicles in traffic, there are many scenarios for traffic flow. On the other hand, the waiting times of the vehicles in traffic are constantly increasing. A misplaced traffic plan leads to traffic congestion and environmental problems. In this study, CO2 equivalent emission values (carbon footprint) were calculated in order to examine the environmental effects in a four-phase intersection. Equations were derived to calculate CO2 equivalent emission at the intersection. The effect of the idle stop-start system and the number of electric vehicles was also considered as a future scenario. As a result of the study, it was observed that the small number of electric vehicles decreased the CO2 equivalent emission at the intersection significantly. However, with the use of the idle stop-start system, it has been observed that CO2 equivalent emissions can be reduced.
