Smarter Streets: SDN-Powered Traffic Flow Control
Rethinking Traffic: How SDN is Revolutionizing Intelligent Transportation Traffic congestion is a global headache, costing billions annually in wasted time and fuel. But what if we could use technology to not only alleviate this burden but also make our transportation systems smarter and more efficient? Enter Software-Defined Networking (SDN), a revolutionary technology poised to transform intelligent traffic management and optimization. Traditional traffic management relies on rigid, centralized control systems that struggle to adapt to real-time changes. SDN breaks free from these limitations by separating the control plane from the data plane. This means network functions are managed by software, allowing for dynamic, programmable control over traffic flow. Imagine a system where traffic lights adjust in response to congestion, emergency vehicles...
