Countermeasure Study of Urban Traffic Improvement Based on the Internet of Things

Abstract

In order to reduce the fluctuations of traffic flow and the impacts of traffic flow fluctuations, thereby increasing the level of service of roads and constructing the Internet of Things-based traffic system, based on the various causes of traffic flow fluctuations, the countermeasures were taken, such as the optimization of lanes, the management of intersections, the improvement and perfection of slow-vehicle lanes and bus stops, the timely renewal of traffic signs and marks, the rational arrangements of road operations, and the removal of visual obstacles, etc. The research results showed that these countermeasures could effectively reduce the hidden peril of accidents and improve the road capacity, thereby improving the level of service of roads, which provided a theoretical foundation and basis for road engineering design and traffic management. It can be seen that improving urban traffic through rational management and control measures can effectively improve the level of service of urban traffic. INDEX TERMS Urban road, traffic flow fluctuation, level of service, countermeasure.

Evaluation of Sustainable Behavior and Acceptance of Electric Public Transportation: A Perspective from the Philippines

“…Traffic issues are one of the main problems in the Philippines today, but the country could adopt the application made and developed by this study for a more time-efficient traffic flow. In addition, the study of Wang et al [143] promotes the consideration of traffic rules and fluctuation. That is, the Internet of Things may help in optimum lane and intersection management and the development of vehicle stopping areas, smart traffic lights, road markings, etc.…”
