Abstract: Internet network is contributing to the traffic monitoring system so that people get more advantages and less delay from traffic updates as the number of automobiles widens and daily congestion increases. To manage delays and congestion in the proposed work, we have implemented an intelligent traffic monitoring system using a wireless sensor network for the smart city. The shortest path sensor nodes are active, and the rest of the sensors are not due to the inactiveness of other sensor's energy saved. The results have shown that the sensor node has the highest energy and battery life for the shortest path detection process concerning time. Highest point taken by the sensor is 0.040 J at a time of 0.10 s, and the battery life of a sensor node varies between (19,159.995 and 19,160.005) it has examined and estimated the errors, transmission/reception happens between the sensor nodes with the help of console output messages.
