Leveraging 5G Networks to Enhance Communication Between Vehicles and Traffic Infrastructure for Optimized Traffic Management

Abstract

This paper explores the utilization of 5G networks to improve communication between vehicles and traffic infrastructure, aiming to enhance overall traffic management efficiency. With the increasing demand for smarter transportation systems, the integration of high-speed, low-latency 5G technology plays a crucial role in enabling real-time vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. Through a MATLAB-based simulation, this research investigates the impact of 5G on traffic flow, congestion levels, and network latency. Results demonstrate that 5G’s high bandwidth and low latency significantly enhance vehicle-infrastructure coordination, reducing congestion and improving traffic flow.
