Abstract

International audience; In the current day and age, traffic in urban areas is becoming more and more complex leading to congested roads and intersections. Hence, the need for sophisticated traffic control system to reduce the congestion and provide better flow management. In this paper, we present briefly the basic notions and the most important parameters that affects the traffic control. Then, we provide a survey on the main flow management systems that are available in the literature. Some possible future research works and propositions on intelligent traffic control are also provided.
