Abstract
In this paper, we propose using ZigBee for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Most of the accidents these days are caused because of drivers not knowing the upcoming traffic hurdles like curves, traffic signals, railway lines and etc. If drivers come to know about the upcoming signals, curves, and railways lines etc the accidents can be avoided. The aim is to provide drivers with intelligent roads so that they can receive the information about the curves and the traffic signals ahead. After receiving the information about the signals ahead, drivers will be careful; this will help avoid the road accidents. Many researches are taking place in the world in the field of ITS and many useful systems are also built but no system is built using this remarkable ZigBee technology. ZigBee is low cost as compared to other short range wireless technologies which will help reduce the total cost of the system, enabling this system to be deployed in developing countries as well.
Highlights
Most of the accidents on the roads occur today because drivers are not aware of upcoming traffic hurdles like traffic signals, curves and railway lines etc
This research is based on a concept that drivers get to know about the upcoming traffic hurdles like traffic signals, curves, railway lines etc before reaching at them
This system can be very helpful in mountainous areas where there is snow and fog and drivers are unaware of upcoming traffic hurdles
Summary
Most of the accidents on the roads occur today because drivers are not aware of upcoming traffic hurdles like traffic signals, curves and railway lines etc. In order to make driving on roads easy, an efficient system is required which informs drivers about upcoming traffic hurdle before a safe distance so that drivers can be careful. There are many researches going on in the field of ITS and already many systems are available but these systems are very expensive which make these systems very difficult to install in developing countries [1,2]. These systems require high Power to operate which make these systems difficult to install in areas where there is no power available [2]. Its low power consumption makes it useable in areas where there is no power available
