Abstract

Road traffic congestion is a recurring occurrence causing enormous loss of valuable working hours around the world. It is impossible to eradicate such a problem overnight. Rather it could be handled intelligently with the help of modern technologies. Researchers and practitioners have introduced several algorithms, frameworks, systems to mitigate traffic congestion. This paper presents a systematic literature review on existing research and critically analyze the applications on traffic analytics systems. After designing a review protocol, each work was evaluated based on the five research questions and criteria. After critically and carefully analyzing the existing works, this paper also identified the advantages as well as the limitations of the existing approaches towards solving traffic congestion. Based on the findings, a prototype of a mobile application is proposed that can be considered as an improved alternative to the existing works. Finally, this study provides future research directions and improvement scopes in this field.
