Paper Title
Estimation Of Vehicle’s Situation And Traffic Density In The Vanet Environment
Abstract
The traffic congestion becomes one of the major issue nowadays. The reason being the increase in the number of
vehicles over a decade. So the rising demands cannot be fulfilled by the existing infrastructure. This problem needs to be
solved and upgraded with the modern technology for the efficient use of available resources. Intelligent transportation
system is one of the modern technique which is used to avoid the congestion of traffic. The congestion of traffic gives rise to
problems such as fatigue and accidents. There have been many research done on managing the traffic congestion and
location of vehicle. In this research work, a model is proposed to avoid the traffic congestion and locating the vehicles for an
alternate route and also nature of accident such as overturning, collision and skidding. GPS is used for the proper estimation
of vehicle’s location, whereas the situation of vehicle can be calculated using accelerometer sensor. This will help us get a
clear picture of what went wrong so that we can take necessary actions. The tracing of a vehicular accidents will helps in
saving many lives.
