Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) A geo-spatial sensor network approach for safer travel

Abstract

This work describes our Final Year Project titled “Intelligent Transportation System”. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are advanced applications which aim to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management. They enable various users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated, and 'smarter' use of transport networks. Transportation allows societies and businesses to operate efficiently and provides a form of quick and safe transit. However, it has drawbacks in the form of crashes, traffic, system failures and resources required to maintain the system. One of the most dangerous results of system failures is fatal road accidents. Such risks can be mitigated with a Traffic Management System that provides real-time traffic analytics. The system provides users with the highest level of travelling efficiency ranging from accident hotspots that need to be avoided, temperature and humidity conditions on the road, chances of fog being present and an emergency response system in case of an accident. There is a vast application of this system which would help users to improve their quality of travel along with The architecture of the system is based on client server system. Here we have more than one client i.e. android and PC. To manage our server, we will be using Apache and Geoserver. All the connections to the server will be through internet. For a developing country such as Pakistan, a system such as this would help improve economic production of goods and services whilst maintaining the safety of travelers. Such a system is new to Pakistan and with the development, would provide a futuristic form of travelling. The use of GIS in this system is the backbone for the proper functionality.
