Intelligent Traffic Management System Based on the Internet of Vehicles (IoV)

Algorithm 1

Proposed adaptive traffic management algorithm.
Inputs: , , , , , , , , , as defined in Table 3.
Initialize variables
(1)For each
(i)  Set # set the closing time for the roads equals the current time
(ii)  Set # initialize the vehicle counts in all the roads
(2)Set # initialize the Open Timer to the average of the minimum and maximum open timers
(3)Set # Set the current open road to be the first one
(4)Repeat forever:
(5)Calculate the number of vehicles in each road with the distance to the intersection
#   To minimize the computation and iterating on a very large number of entries, we use the following approach:
(6)  # For the open road, when a vehicle is crossing the intersection stop line from any lane ,
(7)   Set
(8)  # For all the roads including the open one, on the arrival of any vehicle on the road r in any lane ,
(9)   Set
(10)If (no more cars are withinin the open road): # the open road is empty
(11)  Wait for the transition time,
(12)  Close the open road,
(13)  Call “Select Next Open Road” algorithm.
(14)If (Emergency vehicle on a Closed Road):
(15)  Call Handle_Emergency_Vehicle :
(16)If: # When the green timer expired
(17)Call “Select Next Open Road” algorithm.
(18)Inform the vehicles about the currently open road
(19)Periodically send a broadcast message to all the roads: “the only road having heading direction” is open for at most .
(20)Continue Repeating
