In October 2024, we delivered a smart city project designed to alleviate traffic congestion using IoT devices and real-time data analysis. The challenge was to integrate various data streams from traffic signals, cameras, and sensors into a coherent system. Our team utilized big data analytics to understand traffic patterns and developed an AI algorithm to adjust traffic signals in real-time. We overcame hurdles in device interoperability and data privacy. The implementation led to a significant reduction in congestion and an improvement in urban mobility.

Introduction: Our project focused on implementing an IoT-based solution to reduce traffic congestion and enhance urban mobility.

Challenges & Solutions:

• Device Interoperability: We integrated diverse IoT devices, ensuring seamless communication between different traffic management components.

• Data Privacy: Establishing a framework that respected individual privacy while utilizing traffic data was achieved through anonymization techniques.

Development Process:

• Real-Time Data Analysis: By processing data from various sources in real-time, our system could adapt to changing traffic conditions instantly.

• Collaboration with City Planners: Working with urban planners, we ensured our solution aligned with the city's broader transportation goals.

Outcomes: The deployment of our traffic management solution led to a marked improvement in traffic flow and a reduction in commute times across the city.
