In the past, few Public Administrations provided traffic monitoring services in real time due to the high cost of the car traffic monitoring system. The paper aims at proposing a low cost system based on the GPS signals coming from Arduino based systems to collect the traffic measurements needed to compute colored traffic map and the minimum path to the destination depending on the current position. The comparison carried between the performance of the proposed system and the one based on GPS signals coming from the user mobiles points out a higher accuracy of Arduino based tracking system. Also the system may send the user data to the main information center as anonymous messages thus satisfying the privacy requirements needed for a wide activation of such a monitoring methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
