Traffic Management: Toward a more advanced Transit system
There is no doubt that Transit issues are part of the struggles that people go through on a daily basis, to face the traffic problems every country has to come up with creative traffic management techniques that suit its citizens and roads, doing that needs innovation and awareness.
Traffic is defined as the delay of transportation or any type of movement, or transit in a certain location, like car traffic, or heavy delay in a railroad system.
Road traffic control involves redirecting vehicles and people around a crowded zone, accident or any road disturbance, and ensuring the safety of the emergency response teams, construction workers and others.
A traffic control device is a signal, sign, or other device placed on or adjacent to a street or highway by the respective authority to regulate and manage the traffic process.
Another method of road traffic control is using traffic lights detectors, they are sensors buried in the road to detect the presence of traffic waiting at the light, and as a result, reduces the time when a green signal is given to an empty road.
Transit engineering is a performance optimization method of a telecommunications network by dynamically analyzing, predicting and regulating the movement of data transmitted over that network.
Getting stuck in traffic is most certainly not favorable, not only for the time, gas, and money wasted in traffic but also for the air pollution that negatively affects the people and the environment. Some of the simple ideas that can be done to avoid traffics are for example: avoiding rush hours, using public transportation, walking, or bicycling so that can get you to your destination without getting stuck in traffic. Carpooling is also a great way to get to work and you won’t always have to drive, and each person can take turns driving.
With the continuous increase of population worldwide, the only solution for traffic problems is to manage it using advanced technologies and developed transportation systems.
