Traffic may be reduced and transportation efficiency improved by properly controlling traffic flow in urban areas. This research provides a new method for managing lanes in real-time by using IoT connectivity. To optimize traffic flow in response to shifting demand patterns, the suggested system prioritizes making lane design changes in real time depending on the current traffic conditions. Using information collected from Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and linked automobiles, the system may dynamically allot lanes in response to variations in traffic volumes and congestion. It describes developing and deploying a dynamic lane control system based on the Internet of Things, stressing the technology's potential to improve traffic flow in congested metropolitan areas. The simulation results show its efficiency in decreasing traffic and increasing throughput. It demonstrates the potential of intelligent transportation systems for creating smarter and more efficient cities by combining IoT, real-time data processing, and traffic control. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
