This work presents a distributed system that is designed for road traffic management in smart cities using cloud computing. This distributed design responds to the particular limitations of an emergency situation, specially the fixed infrastructures that are out of service because no energy supply is available. Many developed nations now use intelligent transportation systems to solve traffic related problems and to provide smooth and safe ride on roads. Poor infrastructure and the attitude of road users are the main reasons behind traffic congestion in non-smart cities. Vehicular ad hoc networks are considered a less expensive, distributive and collaborative traffic congestion system. It needs inexpensive devices to be incorporated in vehicles and communicate with the cloud service providers to accumulate the data and fetch into the system. Data to be disseminated is buffered at the road side parked vehicle, which continuously provides data dissemination services for the passing by vehicles and vehicular Ad-Hoc networks provide a smart solution for traffic density detection and better parking management of traffic over Non-lane based roads of smart cities. This paper highlights the findings of a parking-based opinion survey conducted at Alexandria city in Egypt and proposes a smart solution for parking management and traffic detection through a data dissemination scheme for Vehicular ad hoc networks and cloud computing technologies in Egypt.
