Technology Driven Intelligent Transport Systems for Better Sensor Networks

Abstract: Sensors and networks are growing in technology faster. Moreover the wireless communications have witnessed a quantum leap in growth with the introduction of 3G and 4G technologies. Due to these there are plethora of emerging applications in various fields pertaining to military and civilian with respect to transport, health care, industrial automation, and personal communications. However, the automobile industry does not witness much change since its inception but trying to adapt information technology in terms of GPS related navigation systems. There are applications in this regard such as lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and parallel parking. This has paved the way for transport infrastructure to be mixed with those mechanical and telecommunications systems in order to have accident alert systems, traffic monitoring, and electronic toll collection. Many researches came into existence for intelligent transportation systems. Recently Tewolde reviewed the present state of the art technologies being deployed for intelligent transport systems. In this paper we build a prototype application that demonstrates the proof of concept. The empirical results are encouraging.
