Operational systems for mobiles, especially for smart phones are more and more similar to each other: similar user interfaces, the way of entering text, virtual keyboard, more basic screens on which shortcuts can be arranged, integration of dates from social nets to phone applications and support for all important e-mail systems. The main goal of our research is to realize the system for traffic observation, by using modern mobile and internet technologies. Our cities have been continually growing at an uncontrolled rate leading to the problem of traffic congestion, which has discernible effects on all the aspects of sustainability, be it social, environmental or economical. This continual shift of increasing size of city's center and decreasing size of periphery poses huge sustainability challenge of meeting the consumption demands. On the other side of the coin, the advances of human technology have provided its greatest gift, information & communication technology (ICT). Today we have access to any data from any point of the world. There is a growing need to use this data and information with a holistic view to build more Intelligent Transport Systems. 1 Ivana PESIC, M.Sc.
