It is important to modify and preserve the transportation system because the number of people using transportation routes is constantly increasing. This means the government must rebuild or replace bridges, pave roads and offer safer more reliable transportation routes that have less traffic and congestion.

Discussion has states that such a system could allow authorities to better route traffic in addition there are many benefits of such system. Since the technology may provide a robust platform upon which other services can operate .in term of results, a proof principle system has been shown. This system needs furthermore development at all stages; powerful roadside sensors are required, module for using roadside sensors must be developed, and the GIS system must be developed in order to it can provide truly useful information. Despite the development is required, the system show great promise and could be used by all

The technology has evolved a lot since past decade. Interestingly, Artificial intelligence systems have so much advanced now and it is being

There are really many challenges if we try to improve public transportation, the government will be cost a lot of

Artificial intelligence is the development of a computer system that is able to perform tasks of human intelligence like visual perception, speech recognition, and decision-making. Computer scientists have made a substantial advancement in the

This contextual analysis is concerning the issues of an acknowledged designing office. There square measure a few quantities of self-ruling and repair divisions amid an acknowledged designing organization. A task is attempted by this organization to give wiring between sign boxes, administration rooms and route signal lights and supplies were embraced by track flagging office. A few divisions like creating division, Advanced Telecommunication office and Drafting office can help Signalling division. This undertaking is customary for a long time by the corporate however thereafter the boss working officer of the corporate has asked to complete the venture in 1year, as a consequence of

The concept of artificial intelligence was first labeled by a man named Alan Turing in 1950, he believed that the future would hold the possibility for man to communicate with computers and sustain a conversation (Atkinson, Solar 1). Although, we have reached the point where it is possible to hold a simple preprogrammed conversation with a computer and give them the ability to learn, there is still a long way to go in making computers fully artificially intelligent. Atkinson and Solar continue to describe some real world applications of artificial intelligence such as, “Data mining technologies, fraud detection, and industrial-strength optimization” (8). In these examples, forms of artificial intelligence like cognitive reasoning abilities are already being used making the demand for them higher.

The development of every nation hinges on the effectiveness of their transportation systems. Movement of goods, services and people to and from work is made possible by transportation systems. The importance of effective transportation systems cannot be over-emphasized. A lot of countries are facing Transportation problems and my country Ghana is no exception. A trip of about 30 minutes can take about an hour or more due to traffic jams. This is seriously impacting productivity and has been a topical issue in the country. The situation is the same in Uganda where I currently work. To this end, Transportation Engineers are needed to design roads/ highways that will stand the test of time, plan effective traffic management systems to reduce travel

Expert systems are also known as knowledge based systems. These systems rely on a basic set of rules for solving specific problems and are capable of learning. The laws are defined for the system by experts and then implemented using if-then rules. These systems basically imitate the expert’s thoughts in solving the problem. An example of this is a system that diagnosis medical conditions. The doctor would input the symptoms to the computer system and it would then ask more questions if need or give diagnoses. Other examples include banking systems for acceptance of loans, advanced calculators, and weather predictions.

This system includes simple three color traffic signal. A fixed time is allotted for each lane. The lights are automatically getting ON and OFF depending on the timer value changes. While using electrical sensors it will capture the availability of the vehicle and signals on each phase, depending on the signal the lights automatically switch ON and OFF. Before green light, yellow light flashes for few second, signifying to start your vehicle and be ready to go. For all the time red light is on, ordering each vehicle to stop. This method is efficient than manual controlling

Artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly enriching decision support through means as data delivery, analyzing data trends, providing forecasts, developing data consistency, information providing to the exploiter in the most appropriate forms and suggesting courses of action.

Innovations that improve the functioning of transportation modes are occurring across all modes of the transportation industry.

* Physical infrastructure like roads, highways and bridges affect the use of automobiles. Better these infrastructures better will be the growth opportunities in this sector.

Abstract- Due to the traffic accidents over the last few years; the development of surveillance systems with multifunctional techniques has received increasing attention. The use of the smart camera is one solution to solve the traffic problems, Smart cameras are cameras that can perform tasks far beyond simply taking photos and recording videos. Intelligent Traffic Surveillance System (ITSS) is used to monitor the roads in preventing accidents at the same time finding what causes the accidents. This is done by implementing some image vision protocols as that of Gaussian and Canny. This paper will discuss about the camera-video-surveillance capabilities of tracking across different and varied road environments including detection of moving
