Traffic Control using UAV

The management of ever-increasing traffic volumes and congestion levels is one of the most critical challenges faced by modern human society. This problem further magnifies, particularly at urban intersections. There are only limited viable options available for the expansion of existing infrastructure. It has become critical to monitor and analyze the state of traffic flow at urban and suburban intersections. However, this requires an accurate, dynamic, and quick inflow of traffic data. The collection of detailed traffic data with traditional equipment, like manual counters, induction loops, fixed video camera systems, etc., is an expensive and difficult process as it either requires a  large amount of installed sensors/equipment or a high number of deployed staff in order to cover the entire network. Such data cannot be used to estimate the densities, as well as other more complex traffic flow phenomenon, such as the process of accumulation and dissipation of queues at the intersections. It is not practically possible to cover the entire network with fixed sensors or deployed
