Traffic Zone Warning and Violation Detection Using Mobile Computing

Abstract

AbstractDuring the past few years, traffic accidents and congestions have increased enormously. Even in our daily life, we come across many problems caused due to traffic rule violation by some people. Also, when we go through the daily newspaper, we realize that road accidents are one of the major problems nowadays in every city. These problems cause disturbance to the whole system and also consume our precious time. So in an attempt to reduce it and improve the traffic discipline, advanced technological solutions have been proposed. In the proposed system, an Android system is implemented which alerts the driver by alert messages. When the driver reaches to traffic zone, system gives an alert message about the zone and its rules. When the speed of the vehicle nears the speed limit, it displays the warning, and if exceeds, the details of that user go to regional transport office (RTO). Then, further action is taken by the RTO. To propose this system, we use global positioning system (GPS) to track the current location of the driver, and according to the current location, the system gives the alert message to the driver. To detect the speed, the motion sensor is used which is available on the every Android phone, and it will compare speed value to database value. If speed exceeds, the alert message is displayed.KeywordsRegional training officeGlobal positioning systemTraffic violationAlert messages
