‘AN IOT CLOUD SYSTEM FOR TRAFFIC MONITORING AND VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS PREVENTION IN UTTARAKHAND’

Abstract

The ongoing traffic challenges in Uttarakhand ne- cessitate innovative solutions. This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) cloud-based system designed to tackle real-time traffic monitoring and accident prevention in the region. By utilizing mobile traffic sensors installed in private and public vehicles, the system collects real-time data. The OpenGTS and MongoDB are used to process this data, allowing for prompt detection of congestion, automated rerouting, and identification of potential accident hotspots. A systematic analysis, including pilot testing, indicates the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed system, showcasing a significant enhancement in road safety and traffic management. The implementation of this technology represents a substantial step towards modernizing the region’s transportation infrastructure and could set a precedent for similar applications in other areas.
