ABSTRACT
The most significant issues in metropolitan cities are environmental degradation and urban frustration with traffic. Nonetheless, the inevitability of designating roadways for brief often extended periods for specific situations such as meetings, conferences, and accidents. This occurrence continuously puts pressure on researchers, city authorities, and urban planners to continue to enhance traffic management systems in safer and more cost-effective ways. Many studies have addressed this growing problem, resulting in practical solutions such as special lanes for emergency vehicles in metropolitan areas. Even with these lanes, meeting the desired goal time frames for emergency vehicles arriving at their locations is sometimes challenging. The intelligent transportation system (ITS) is a novel technique that aims to overcome this issue. This strategy can aid in resolving the problem by combining existing technologies with the existing infrastructure. Making some roads one-lane or two-lane, depending on their attributes, is one strategy for lowering traffic on these routes while maintaining urban connectedness.
