Traffic is a major problem in modern era with increase in population there is increase in number of vehicles, road users which ends to congestion of traffic.
The static road infrastructure is almost the same and unable to cope with changes like congestion, unpredictable travel time, delay and road accidents that taking a serious shape and due to this there is need to control the road traffic with help of traffic control optimizer.
In spite of measures being taken to migrate and reduce traffic it become major concerned faced by the metropolitan cities during planning of cities it has emerged one of the main challenges for developing cities. To find out appropriate measures there is necessity of identify magnitude of traffic congestion.
The construction of new road or widening of existing road is not feasible every time it will results in additional traffic congestion the total available space within city for the construction of road, railway and other transportation is restricted.
This study focuses on implementation of movable traffic dividers to solve the traffic congestion problem in metropolitan cities.
