Method and system for reducing road congestion

A congestion management system for reducing road congestion, the congestion management system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which on execution, cause the processor to:
• receive traffic data related to a plurality of vehicles moving on a selected path of a road, from one or more sensors deployed along the selected path;
• predict a speed of each of the plurality of vehicles at one or more predetermined intersection points along the selected path and a signal time associated with each of the one or more predetermined intersection points using a trained traffic model, wherein the traffic model is trained using historic traffic data related to the plurality of vehicles;
• determine an optimal speed for each of the plurality of vehicles and an optimal signal time for each of the one or more predetermined intersection points based on analysis of predicted speed and predicted signal time;
• and
• provide the optimal speed of each of the plurality of vehicles to a vehicle control system associated with corresponding each of the plurality of vehicles and the optimal signal time to a traffic controller associated with corresponding each of the one or more predetermined intersection points, thereby reducing the road congestion.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon that when processed by at least one processor cause a congestion management system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving traffic data, related to a plurality of vehicles moving on a selected path of a road, from one or more sensors deployed along the selected path;
• predicting a speed of each of the plurality of vehicles at one or more predetermined intersection points along the selected path and a signal time associated with each of the one or more predetermined intersection points using a trained traffic model, wherein the traffic model is trained using historic traffic data related to the plurality of vehicles;
• determining an optimal speed for each of the plurality of vehicles and an optimal signal time for each of the one or more predetermined intersection points based on analysis of predicted speed and predicted signal time;
• and
• providing the optimal speed of each of the plurality of vehicles to a vehicle control system associated with corresponding each of the plurality of vehicles and the optimal signal time to a traffic controller associated with corresponding each of the one or more predetermined intersection points, thereby reducing the road congestion.
