On-board smartphone application platform for real- time sharing of traffic information
Jakov Videković, Josip Balen · 2017
Real time traffic information is available on a very limited number of roads and highways where cameras or traffic sensors are implemented. Since majority drivers and travelers have smartphones which can record multimedia (image, video) and use sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.) it is possible to use those devices for sharing real time traffic events. In this paper, a system for recording and sharing traffic multimedia content over the Internet in a real-time is proposed. It consists of on-board smartphone application and data server platform and it works in three modes: 1. proactive – image/video is recorded within time interval ; 2. reactive – event triggers image/video recording ; 3. user – users can manually select what to record and when to deliver. Proposed system is tested in a real- world environment and is available for usage
