This document discusses the I-80 SMART Corridor project which aims to reduce traffic congestion on I-80 in California using an integrated network of technologies. It provides background on topics like IOT, RFID, WSN, and ITS. It then describes the high levels of traffic and congestion on I-80, and outlines the goals of the SMART Corridor project to enhance safety, mobility, and traffic management through real-time information and optimized traffic flow. Stakeholders involved are listed and benefits are discussed such as travel time savings, congestion relief, and improved emergency response. Potential technology transition risks are also mentioned.

3. IOT
The term Internet of Things generally refers to scenarios
where network connectivity and computing capability
extends t objects, sensors and everyday items not normally
considered computers, allowing these devices to generate,
exchange and consume data with minimal human
intervention. There is, however, no single, universal
definition.
Currently there are 9 billion interconnected devices and it
is expected to reach 24 billion devices by 2020.
4. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
• RFID technology is a major breakthrough in the embedded
communication paradigm which enables design of
microchips for wireless data communication.
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)
• The combination of these factors has improved the
viability of utilizing a sensor network consisting of a large
number of intelligent sensors, enabling the collection,
processing, analysis and dissemination of valuable
information, gathered in a variety of environments.
5. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
Oakland developed its first ITS Strategic Plan in 2003 and
during that decade, the City successfully delivered several
high-profiles ITS projects, including the installation of a
Traffic Management Center (TMC).
The TMC operates an NTCIP-compliant central system
software (ATMS now by Traffic ware) and Emergency
Operations Center (EOC). Field equipment includes Type
2070 traffic signal controllers (many with transit signal
priority), cameras (for detection and monitoring), arterial
Changeable Message Signs (CMS), and trailblazer signs.
6. The Traffic Congestion
The Interstate 80 (I-80) corridor has ranked as the most
congested corridor in the entire San Francisco Bay Area
during the last six years, with traffic volumes reaching
312,000 vehicles per day and an average of 20,000 hours of
delay daily.
The congestion on the roadway network contributes to an
increase in accidents rates, including rear-end accidents on
both freeway and local arterials and creates secondary
accidents.
So I80 SMART Corridor system reduces this traffic
congestion, provides more reliable travel times and
increased safety and reduction in secondary accidents
7. What Is the I-80 SMART Corridor Project?
Integrated network of technologies to enhance safety and
improve travel time reliability.
Most sophisticated system of its kind in California.
Provides real-time information to drivers.
SMART stands for

20. • Safer, more efficient and reliable traffic flow along I-80
is essential to the current and future vitality of the Bay
Area. I-80 carries about 290,000 vehicles a day and has
on average one major incident a week. Currently, when a
traffic incident occurs, motorists traveling at high speeds
may not see the sudden slow down ahead, or may be
force to change lanes abruptly, resulting in secondary
accidents that worsen congestion.
• Emergency vehicle access is impacted, resulting in
slower incident response and recovery times. Some
motorists may exit onto San Pablo Avenue to avoid the
traffic jam, but the traffic signals on San Pablo Avenue
and other arterials are not currently equipped to handle
the resulting increase in traffic.

22. Enhanced safety and roadway operations throughout the
corridor.
Travel-time savings and reliability with optimized traffic
flow.
Congestion relief along the corridor during incidents.
Reduction of secondary accidents associated with
congestion.
Improved emergency access and incident recovery time
with less congested routes for emergency vehicles.
Transit travel-time savings along San Pablo Avenue and
I-80 arterials.
23. TRANSITIONING CRITICAL TECHNOLOGIES
The risks associated with the potential technology
transitioning process. Technologies include the use of
CCTV cameras, Changeable Message Signs (CMS),
Transit Signal Priority (TSP), Emergency Vehicle Pre-
emption (EVP), vehicle detection systems, centralized
traffic signal control software, and the leased or agency
owned communications supporting these devices.
24. Truck Parking
This Working Group focuses on the recurring truck
parking concerns along the entire I-80 corridor.

25. So we conclude that the problem of traffic congestion
can be solve for now by using this system .It is effective
and easy to handle the traffic .We Can use the sensors
and IoT to solve these problems and provides the real
time information and by processing that information we
can control traffic effectively.
