The number of road accidents in 2022 increased by 11.9% compared to 2021. Similarly, the number of deaths and injuries on account of road accidents also increased by 9.4% and 15.3% respectively. Road collision incidences in India are increasing at a rate of 5% faster than the world average. Since everyone moves about a lot in their everyday lives, transportation has become a part of everyone’s existence. All people, regardless of age, must travel to do their daily tasks, which causes roadways to get blocked. This research examines how urbanization and industry are causing traffic congestion in the current environment. In the Salem Corporation specified road network, 162 road links were chosen for the study and surveyed with unmanned aerial vehicles. By adopting this digital aerial survey, local authorities may overcome their challenges in estimating the varied road network required at any time from all aspects. Drone have been used to conduct extensive investigations of the condition of the Five Roads Junction, Kondalampatti, Seelanaikanpatti, Shewapett, Junction Main Roads in the Salem district. The intersections were selected because they see a higher volume of traffic, particularly during peak hours. The manual traffic study was conducted to determine the reasons for traffic congestion. Pedestrian laws, appropriate bus stops, signalized junctions, and other measures can all be used to manage traffic. Unlike conventional methods, traffic simulation software such as PTV VISSIM and Any-logic are being used in this research to minimize the identified problems since it may be the alternative approach. This research deals with the Salem district traffic issue at five complex intersections and offers some fundamental remedies.
