Fig 3: Performance Evaluation of PCM with
MATLB
From the Analysis, it is found out that PCM
Agent in coordination with the MATLB provides
efficient congestion Management and instant
handling of High priority & emergency vehicles. In
case of congestion the PCM Agent consumes
minimum time duration for clearing the vehicle.[5]
7. Related Work
In this paper the MATLB agent that works in co-
ordination with the proposed Mobile Agent PCM is
an approach defined by us in the paper Mobile Agent
Approach for Traffic Load Balancing Using Sensors.
This MATLB agent can be combined to work
together with the PCM agent by providing appropriate road status information. Based on the
information provided by the MATLB agent the PCM
agent controls the speed of vehicles in case of
warning area, activity area, termination area and
interconnection area. The PCM agent also identifies
emergency or high priority vehicles and gives
clearance signal to these vehicles using RFID tags.
The MATLB agent along with SALSA
middleware counts the number of vehicles in each
type in a lane and compares it with a predetermined
threshold value.[3] If the threshold value is less than
the traffic intensity, then the traffic is considered
normal else congested. This agent hence capable of
determining the road status as normal or congested
and this status is provided to the PCM agent for
further processing [5].

Parab,KshitijPawar & S.S.Rathod, the paper Image
processing Based Intelligent Traffic Controller
applies Image processing Egde detection methods to
implement real time Emergency vehicle detection
without considering the speed control factor.[9]
8. Conclusion
This paper highlights on functioning of Agent
Technology along with sensors, SALSA middleware
and RFID Technology considering real time traffic issues in metropolitan cities. This paper proposed
architecture with Mobile agent PCM in coordination
with MATLB [5] for traffic control and handling high
priority or emergency vehicles effectively. The PCM
agent implemented in this architecture is based on the
combination of two technologies (i) Hall Effect
Based Sensors located in the wheels of the vehicles
for high accuracy speed measurement.(ii)RFID
tagging of traffic signals for controlling the active
signal and clearing the lane for high priority or
emergency vehicles. The experimental study
described in this paper has been carried out using
traffic signals, MATLB agent, PCM Agent, RFID
technology and Sensors. The simulation results
showed that the proposed architecture with PCM
Mobile agent handles unexpected traffic
circumstances successfully by reducing congestion
and time period of congestion clearance thereby providing an effective way for dynamic transportation
services.
