India is the second most dense and populated country in the world and one of the fastest growing economies. It is experiencing extreme congestion problems on road specifically on undivided two lane highways with mixed traffic. Facilitating infrastructure, imposing proper taxes to restrict personal vehicle growth and enhancing public transport facilities are long term solutions to this problem. These permanent solutions need government's involvement. The Indian government has spent a huge amount in the urban infrastructure sector. Many public transports like Bus Rapid Transit, Metro are being built in several new places to encourage the use of public transport. However, still there is a rapid growth of private vehicles [1]. The country's growing population is also one of the reasons for increased transportation needs. Meeting such needs with infrastructure growth is seemingly less viable because of space and cost constraints. In general, short term traffic forecasting deals with analyzing previous traffic data and predict the traffic flow for next 5-30 min. The duration of 5-30 min is very important because traffic can grow drastically sometimes in next 5 min and can be very congested

In this manuscript, an antenna on textile (jeans) substrate is presented for the WLAN, C band and X/Ku band. This is a wearable textile antenna, which was formed on jeans fabric substrate to reduce surface-wave losses. The proposed antenna design consists of a patch and a defected ground. To energize the wearable textile antenna, a microstrip line feed technique is used in the design. The impedance band width of 23.37% (3.4–4.3 GHz), 56.48% (4.7–8.4 GHz) and 31.14% (10.3–14.1 GHz) frequency bands are observed, respectively. The axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 10.10% (4.7–5.2 GHz), 4.95% (5.9–6.2 GHz) and 10.44% (11.8–13.1 GHz) frequency bands are observed, respectively. A peak gain of 4.85 dBi is analyzed at 4.1-GHz frequency during the measurement. The SAR value was calculated to observe the radiation effect and it was found that its utmost SAR value is 1.8418 W/kg and 1.919 W/kg at 5.2/5.5-GHz frequencies, which is less than 2 W/kg of 10 gm tissue. The parametric study is performed for the validation of the proper functioning of the antenna.
