TJamSpotter: Real Time Android App for Road Traffic Management
Main Article Content
Abstract
Traffic in India is increasing day by day and the Traffic Management System in India is fully dependent on managing it manually because very few roads in the country have Intelligent Road Traffic Infrastructure or Intelligent Sensor Network. So, managing traffic solely on the basis of road management is not very easy. Also, with increasing number of smart mobile phones in India, it is easy for people to use mobile applications which make their life easier. So, TJamSpotter is also an app which can help people in dealing with the road traffic jam problem to a great extent. No such application is designed till date to manage road traffic in India. TJamSpotter is an Android Application which can be easily downloaded from Google Play. The idea behind designing the app is to show the utility of reality mining to help reducing chances of people to hitch in road traffic congestion. The approach of the app TJamSpotter to solve the problem of the road traffic congestion is to first get user subscribed to a particular group/route. Based on that subscribed group, user can notify a message informing about the traffic congestion which will be flashed on the screens on the group of people using that route.
