Poster: SmartTrafMoniSys: Smartphone based Traffic Monitoring and Management System

Abstract

In this research proposal we propose an automated, low cost and efficient traffic monitoring system which can aid in better urban planning and traffic management. We propose the use of smartphones sensors like gyroscope, accelerometer etc. to capture real time road traffic information and then on further processing determining the type of vehicle (motorized Vs. non-motorized), the level to which they contribute to congestion and also performing a behavioral analysis of the turning movements in various traffic scenarios.
