An Intelligent Traffic and Vehicle Monitoring System using Internet of Things Architecture
Bharath Kumar Perumalla | M. Sunil Babu
Abstract: Traffic in modern cities and urban area is creating huge menace and is a major concern for the public and administration system. Incidents such as jams, accidents have become quite common because of exponential growth in vehicles on road. While human errors are one of the major reasons for these problems, the lack of proper measures and adaptive traffic control system is another reason. Security for the vehicles is also important. Even in this latest technological world, hackers are still managing to break the security aspects incorporated in modern vehicles. Many technologies such as RFID, Bluetooth, Zigbee, GSM-GPS based systems were developed but they have limitations in terms of operation and usage. Internet of Things (IoT), a technology that connects various objects, is growing at a rapid pace. This paper presents traffic and vehicle monitoring system based on IoT. This system is capable of addressing problems such as traffic congestion, early warnings regarding jams, vehicle spotting, VIP and emergency vehicle clearance. The system is built using ATMEGA 2560 microcontroller board, and AMICA NodeMCU IoT board, and UBLOX NEO 6N GPS module. The compact design makes the system more reliable and accurate.
