increased the congestion of traffic in maximum urban places in the
world. The insufficient space to further expand the road and also the
budget to further construct new roads in every city means the country
must think about other method to solve this issue. Rather than following
the traditional way of just expanding the roads, a system should be
adopted that can help reduce the traffic problems. In this research,
future scope of STMS in the context of Kathmandu, Nepal is explained. In
order to collect the information related to the existing traffic system
and the objectives related to the subject matter, quantitative approach
of research follows. Also, the benefits of adopting STMS in the current
scenario of Kathmandu are described. Various technical challenges need
to be overcome in order to adopt STMS. Those challenges are described in
this research with proper references to the information collected from
the vehicle owners as well as the traffic policemen of Kathmandu through
questionnaire.
