CARTS
Road traffic congestion is a world-wide issue, especially, severe in the developing world which needs specific attention because of the contrasting nature of traffic as compared to developed countries. Traffic in developing countries, like India, is often chaotic with ineffective lane systems and much higher variability in size and speed of vehicles. While the use of public transportation is highly desirable, but uncertainty and overcrowding hinders its effectiveness. This calls for the need of Intelligent Transportation Systems especially designed for developing countries, like India. The project aims to construct an overarching communication framework that can help ease congestion, while also making it much easier for commuters to use public transportation, by harnessing the capabilities of wireless communication and mobile devices. In the project mobile-phone based sensing techniques are being developed and tested under various chaotic road conditions, and are being optimized for metrics such as the mobile’s power consumption. On-road static sensing techniques are also being developed and enhanced. A flexible and scalable Information gathering & dissemination framework is being developed, to collect the (crowdsourced) information centrally, via Mobile internet, WiFi & SMS, as well as disseminate it to interested users. Machine learning techniques are being used to deduce information from the gathered sensor data, and also to develop techniques for identification and elimination of noise/malicious data in crowd-sourced information. Example applications using the CARTS system, will be developed for Android & iOS based smart phone and also for basic phones.
