In India the unbalanced growth in the freight volume as compared to the road length has led to severe issues of traffic congestion, road safety and health hazards, which, as estimated by recent studies will surely escalate very rapidly within coming years. The use of a real time dynamic traffic management system to intelligently navigate the vehicles can optimize the traffic flow on the roads, thus utilizing the infrastructure efficiently and providing an environment conducive to solving gridlock in cities. The authors propose a real time traffic management system (RTMS) consisting of real time traffic monitoring system formed by small network of road side units, junction units and mobile units to dynamically decide the time of traffic lights to discourage formation of gridlock, coupled with a web based application for vehicle drivers that will derive the data from real time traffic analysis to indicate the local traffic flow and suggest the incoming vehicles to make use of alternative routes in order to further alleviate growth of the gridlock.
