Background of the study:
Effective traffic surveillance is critical for managing urban congestion, ensuring road safety, and enforcing traffic regulations. In Bauchi LGA, Bauchi State, traditional manual surveillance methods are inadequate for handling the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of urban traffic flows. The implementation of IoT-based smart automated traffic surveillance systems presents an innovative solution by deploying interconnected cameras, sensors, and data analytics tools to monitor vehicular movements in real time (Ibrahim, 2023). These systems can capture high-resolution video, detect violations such as speeding and red-light running, and analyze traffic density patterns through machine learning algorithms (Adeniyi, 2024). Real-time data transmission to central control centers allows for prompt intervention by traffic authorities, significantly reducing the incidence of accidents and congestion. Furthermore, automated surveillance systems can integrate with law enforcement databases to streamline the issuance of fines and enhance overall road safety enforcement. The continuous monitoring capability provided by IoT devices supports proactive traffic management, enabling authorities to implement dynamic traffic control measures and optimize signal timings. This technology-driven approach not only enhances the efficiency of traffic management but also contributes to safer urban environments by deterring traffic violations and facilitating rapid incident response (Udo, 2025). As urban populations grow and vehicular traffic increases, adopting automated, real-time traffic surveillance becomes essential for maintaining order and improving commuter experiences.
Statement of the problem:
Bauchi LGA currently relies on outdated traffic surveillance methods that depend heavily on manual observation, leading to delayed detection of violations and inefficient traffic management (Ibrahim, 2023). Traditional surveillance systems are unable to provide real-time, accurate data on traffic flow, resulting in suboptimal response times to accidents and traffic violations. This deficiency contributes to increased congestion, higher accident rates, and reduced overall road safety. Inadequate integration of surveillance data with law enforcement systems further hampers the ability to enforce traffic regulations effectively, while the absence of automated systems leads to labor-intensive monitoring processes that are prone to human error (Adeniyi, 2024). Financial constraints and limited technological infrastructure exacerbate these issues, leaving the traffic management system fragmented and reactive rather than proactive. Without an automated, IoT-based surveillance system, traffic authorities struggle to maintain order on increasingly busy roads, leading to economic losses and compromised public safety. Addressing these shortcomings by implementing a real-time, data-driven traffic surveillance system is critical for reducing congestion, enhancing law enforcement efficiency, and improving urban mobility in Bauchi LGA (Udo, 2025).
Objectives of the study:
-
To design and implement an IoT-based automated traffic surveillance system.
-
To evaluate the system’s effectiveness in real-time violation detection and congestion management.
-
To propose integration strategies with existing law enforcement and traffic control systems.
Research questions:
-
How effective is the IoT-based system in capturing real-time traffic data and detecting violations?
-
What improvements in response times and traffic flow can be observed after implementation?
-
How can the system be integrated with current traffic management practices to enhance urban safety?
Significance of the study:
This study is significant because it offers a modern solution to traffic surveillance challenges. The IoT-based system enhances real-time monitoring, facilitates prompt enforcement actions, and reduces congestion, thereby improving road safety and urban mobility in Bauchi LGA. Its findings will guide policymakers in adopting technology-driven traffic management solutions.
Scope and limitations of the study:
This study is limited to the implementation and evaluation of IoT-based smart automated traffic surveillance systems in Bauchi LGA, Bauchi State. It does not extend to rural areas or other urban management systems.
Definitions of terms:
-
IoT (Internet of Things): A network of interconnected devices that provide real-time data.
-
