LOCATION BASED TRAFFIC TRACKING SYSTEM

Abstract

These systems are mainly used for the End-users Travelling guides by knowing if they
have traffic availability in their traveling destination place. The user can have the authorized
login and can have the automatic fetch in coordinates of the user’s location using LRCAI
algorithm. The user can view the other end-users location in map using marker object indication.
In this project main functionality is to provide for the end-users if traffic available in any areas
automatically notify the user if crossing in their route.

This paper presents an intelligent traffic management system technology. The system is
capable of providing practically important traffic data which would aid in reducing the travel
time for the users. Also, it can be used for other purposes like where the users are travelling,
vehicles that evade traffic signals.

This system collects the required data and calculates average speed of vehicles on each
road of a city under consideration. It then transmits the acquired data i.e., average speed
calculated at various junctions to the central computation server which calculates the time taken
by a vehicle to travel in a particular road. Through Dijkstra's algorithm, the central server
computes the fastest route to all the nodes (junctions) considering each node as the initial point in
the city. Therefore, the system creates a map of shortest time paths of the whole city. This data is
accessed by users through an interface module placed in their vehicles.
INTRODUCTION

In recent years, the quantity of motor vehicles increases rapidly and the burden of the
management of the road traffic are increasingly heavy. There are several ways to make travelling
safe and one is through the Traffic Police. Responsibility of the traffic Police regarding traffic
management includes enforcing traffic rules and regulations and penalizing the driver in case of
violating traffic rules. In today's information-rich society, everything is becoming smart. This
project shows the design and development of smart Monitoring System using GPS.

Existing System

Traffic Detection System aims at the early detection of traffic congestion. The entire
solution requires only a Smartphone having Global Positioning System and good network
coverage. The program installed on the mobile computes speed based on sensor readings and
compares them with predefined values of the counter and the speed limit in traffic congestion.
With growing number of vehicle users, traffic is growing day by day. It is desirable to have a
mechanism by which people can know, in real time, about the traffic condition in the routes on
which they wish to travel. As a result, working on traffic monitoring has gained significant
attention in recent times. Much of the previous work concentrated on lane system and orderly
traffic, which is rare outside the developed world. For example, in India, the traffic is highly
chaotic and unpredictable. Further, many of the proposed solutions need installing dedicated
sensors in the vehicles (like GPS-based tracking units) and/or on the road side (like inductive
loop vehicle detectors, traffic cameras, Doppler radar, etc.) which are expensive. Also, installing
sensors in a huge number of vehicles or installing traffic cameras at several junctions is
impractical due to monetary cost and human effort required.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
The primary working principle of our app is Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS traffic
management are effective, reliable and efficient, with a flexible scale of implementation at
relatively small investment, which should be considered as a priority traffic management. Traffic
Detection System aims at the early detection of traffic congestion. The entire solution requires
only a Smartphone having Global Positioning System and good network coverage. The program
installed on the mobile computes speed based on sensor readings and compares them with pre -
decided values of the counter and the speed limit in traffic congestion. If the mobile phone is
inside a moving vehicle then we can effectively calculate the lowest speed of the vehicle. It
checks the latitude and longitude of the place and pinpoints the location .Any change in the value
of latitude and longitude will measure the distance covered in a certain time interval, and thus we
will calculate speed. The calculated speed will be displayed and compared with the standard
value. If the speed is consistently low, then alert message will be displayed automatically to
users.
