Rising traffic congestion is an inescapable condition in large and growing metropolitan cities leading to many problems for an individual or group. Movement of emergency vehicles are hampered due to traffic congestion costing lives. This work aims to provide a solution to the Road Traffic Management System in order to avoid congestion and to provide services in an emergency situation. This work uses the emerging paradigm in the network called Software Defined Networks (SDN), also known as Network Automation and Network Programmability, to solve traffic congestion. In this work, we have used a real - life model, borrowed from the state of Orissa and the city of Bhubaneshwar, to develop an application for managing the traffic congestion. This application is built using the Software Defined Internet of Things (SDIoT) architecture. Our work highlights the need for SDN in IoT.
