Abstract Traffic congestion is an important social problem in a past few decades. Prediction of traffic conditions study has recently become increased and gained attention of researchers and significant number of different forecasting method exist in this field because of its vital role played to control the traffic and decision making process. Traffic control is vital in smart cities. This work attempts to find the equilibrium state for traffic volume detection using Markov chain. The proposed approach is demonstrated through a case study. A Markov chain is a stochastic model comprising of a set of states and the conditional probabilities of transition between them. The equilibrium state of a Markov chain denotes the probability of being in each state in the long run. The new proposed approach very useful to know the change of traffic flow in any junction. This method also helpful to the transportation department to know the variation of the traffic in any congested place. © 2020 Author(s).
