“…We habitually observe that once a mischance happens the individual or the people close-by need to physically call the crisis administrations. For the most part it happens that one individual sits tight for contrasting option to call that outcomes in misuse of your time [5]. In this manner there's a postponement for crisis administrations to achieve the circumstance of the mischance and giving essential social insurance which can even bring about death of the people met in mishap.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) might have the capacity to consolidate straightforwardly and flawlessly countless and heterogeneous end frameworks, while giving open access to choose subsets of information for the improvement of a plenty of computerized administrations. Building a general engineering for the IoT is hence forth an exceptionally complex undertaking, chiefly as a result of the greatly extensive assortment of gadgets, connection layer advancements, and administrations that might be included in such a framework. In this framework is gathering activity by national and power amid a Common stage. Therefore in this paper an attempt is created to propose the android application which might solve the above mentioned issues. Moreover, the paper can gift and discuss the technical solutions and bestpractice tips of sensible town project.

Abstract-Emergency never runs with earlier intimations and indications. In the real world and practical life, detecting and perceiving such emergencies and reporting them are a genuine test and tough challenge. Smartphones Systems for Emergency Management (SPSEM) provide details of existing emergency applications and provide a new direction to overcome the traditional problem having manual intercession and reporting emergencies. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of SPSEM. We elaborate how embedded sensors automate the procedure of emergency crisis detection and responding. Furthermore, we critically evaluate the operations, benefits, limitations, emergency applications and responsiveness in any emergency crisis of different approaches. We provide an easy and concise view of the underlying model adapted by each SPSEM approach. In last, we estimate the future utility and provide an insight of upcoming trends in SPSEM.

“…When severity of the accident is high, the driver reporting accident system fails, as the driver may not be able to report in such conditions. Smart phone based accident detection models [12] are very expensive and even lead to false alarm. Continuous monitoring of vehicular GPS device through a remote computer help to detect accident instantaneously but monitoring the huge traffic of data is challenging [4].…”

Abstract-The pathways of information are changing, the physical world itself is becoming a type of information system. In what's called the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors and actuators embedded in physical objects-from roadways to pacemakersare linked through wired and wireless networks, often using the same Internet Protocol (IP) that connects the Internet. When objects can both sense the environment and communicate, they become tools for understanding complexity and responding to it swiftly. The revolutionary part in all this is that these physical information systems are now beginning to be deployed, and some of them even work largely without human intervention. This paper has addressed the traffic congestion problem with the help of Internet of Things. Increase in the number of vehicles in cities caused by the population and development of economy, has stimulated traffic congestion problems. It is becoming more serious day after day in the present scenario of developing countries. The reason for the same could be categorized as mismanagement of vehicular movement, ineffective system for controlling the mobility of vehicles, uneven roads and traffic snarl-up. Unexpected vehicular queuing is a major concern leading to wasting time of passengers and thwarting ambulance to reach the destination in time. In addition to that, traffic congestion makes it difficult to forecast the travel time accurately causing drivers to allocate more time in travel than scheduled previously. To ease these mounting traffic problems a demonstration is made on the Proof of Concept (POC) using the smart city data set provided by Telecom Italia of Milan city, to verify that these concepts have the potential for real world application and could be used by the government sectors or private transport organizations to ameliorate the passenger's comfort on road which are as follows. A central node is developed which sets the speed limit and predicts a normalized speed separately for each locality from the available data set. For efficient control in mobility of vehicles an advanced dynamic digital board is introduced, which displays the speed limit set by the central node time to time. The normalized speed could be used to estimate the effective time taken between destinations precisely. By comparing normalized speed with real time values anomalies in the locality like congestion and presence of uneven roads is predicted. Accident detection model is integrated with the central node which sends a message to dynamic board indicating location of the accident along with the time taken. It even improves traffic flow around the accident occurred location.Central node together with navigation tools could provide rerouted path to the drivers during congestion or accident.
