Abstract

As of now, GPS is an almost ubiquitous technology. However, it is not completely real time & it only deals with highways, freeways, sometimes main streets in large cities. Jamdroid is a real time, collaborative road traffic information system that aims to remedy these shortcomings of GPS. Jamdroid is a new collaborative project that gathers road traffic reports from all its end-users, compiles the data and reports back to the navigation software of the users. It involves a data analysis algorithm running on the user device, and Internet servers that retrieve the data from the user, merge them, and send them back to the community. We know that it might not be possible to equip every vehicle with a GPS receiver. Hence to maximize available traffic data, we explore the option of introducing RFID tag for gathering GPS data. Such a system is meant to be accessed by a large number of users, and has to be fast & responsive enough to deal with all the requests; hence, provisions must be made for effective live stream handling. We will see how such a system can gain immensely by incorporating Data Stream Management System, using open-source TelegraphCQ, for data stream processing & querying.
