Traffic accidents contribute to any loss of life and property and loss of services. It occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle or objects. Some factors will establish, leading to injuries and even related accidents that can be avoided or minimized by employing appropriate measures. These damages resulted from the costs of recovery and reduced productivity. The Traffic Management Systems (TMS) for this analysis will base on a compilation of previous studies, and it will index the following crucial areas: (a) traffic accidents and their factors, and (b) safety models. Some of the gaps to be addressed include 1) unavailability of data for essential factors, 2) variation of the parameter used, and 3) complexity of the method used. This paper will help to the detailed analysis of the traffic management systems, outlining the fundamental problems and limitations of current systems and providing several avenues for enhancing the performance of traffic management systems.
