A smart traffic management is a wide topic of research. Many modifications can be made to make the urban traffic flow smoothly on the roads. The increasing utilization of private vehicles and public transportation due to advancement of technology causes hectic traffic complexities for the civilians across the globe. The problem of traffic congestion is an everyday problem for human resource and therefore hinders the growth of the country by affecting its productivity as well as economy. Moreover, the traffic signaling systems have predetermined fixed operational time which fails to manage the traffic density changing with time and thus, long traffic queues are formed at the road crossings resulting in increased pollution and waiting time. In this paper, we tried to provide solution to reduce the waiting time at road crossings while keeping in mind the importance of time of the citizens as well as the emergency service providers (such as EMS i.e. Emergency Medical Services, Fire and Rescue Services, etc.). The presented system in this paper is based on smart traffic congestion control system that will automatically set the signal time based on the measured values of vehicle density on road lanes. However, the manual changes can also be made to traffic signals for efficient traffic management in case of emergencies. This paper presents an idea of traffic management using internet of things (IOT). The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a system of internet-connected objects that are able to collect and transfer data over a wireless network without human intervention. This technology provides an effective communication between different signals and helps in collection of data thereby providing an IoT based smart traffic management system in terms of its automated tracking, monitoring and controlling of vehicles and its data processing.

A study of remotely booking slot for vehicle using Internet of Things IJECEIAES
Internet Of Things (IoT) is a continually growing area which aids us to unite diverse objects. The proposed system exhibits the universal notion of utilizing cloud-based intellectual automotive car parking facilities in smart cities as a notable implementation of the IoT. The RFID technology is used in this system along with suitable IoT protocols to evade human interference, which reduces the cost. Information is bartered using readers and tags. Open Service Gateways can be effectively used for this module. This system established on the consequence of IoT and the purposes are solving the chaos, bewilderment, and extensive backlogs in parking spaces. The proposed work aims to solve these problems and offer car drivers a hassle-free and instantaneous car parking experience. A Raspberry Pi would act as a mini-computer in our system. A suitable smallest path methodology would be cast-off to obtain the shortest distance between the user and every car park in the system. Hence, the pausing time of the user is decreased. This work furthermore includes the practice of remotely booking of a slot with the collaboration of android application exercising smartphones for the communication between the Smart Parking system and the user.
Traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of fatalities in the world. An important indicator of survival rates after an accident is the time between the accident and when emergency medical personnel are dispatched to the scene. Eliminating the time between when an accident occurs and when first responders are dispatched to the scene decreases mortality rates by 6%.. By combining smart phones with existing vehicles through an appropriate interface we are able to move closer to the smart vehicle paradigm, offering the user new functionalities and services when driving. In this application we propose an Android based application that monitors the vehicle through an On Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) interface, being able to detect accidents. The application reacts to positive detection by sending details about the accident through SMS to pre-defined destinations, immediately followed by an automatic phone call to the emergency services.
Nowadays vehicles are important in our day to day life. Our transportation methods mainly depend on vehicles, as per the need increases the care for the vehicle also increases, but in this busy life we fail to give much attention to the vehicle. This results in the major mechanical problems in the vehicle. Due to the busy schedule, people fail to give servicing to the car at the proper time. People forget to check the battery voltage and engine temperature. To avoid such problems our system helps the user to take good care of his vehicle by monitoring the vehicle parameters like fuel level, engine temperature and battery voltage. It also checks whether the driver is drunk or not. It gives the servicing alerts to the driver.
RTO Automation System is basically a digital system to overcome the manual task. It is the system which handles the work based on NFC (Near Field Communication). Many modern smart phones and tablets have an integrated scanner that can read NFC chips. All one needs to do for driver's licence checks is attach a single low-cost NFC chip to the driver's license. The NFC chip stores a unique combination of numbers. This ID will be read by the smartphone and the NFC to web application with the underlying NFC technology and uniquely associated with the driver's master data in the web application. We are going to develop a mobile application, database and NFC technology that enables the exchange of data between different devices over distances. . The proposed system will also consist of a GPS tracking system in which the traffic police can enter the number place and track town a criminal. The GPS chip will be installed in the cars which will be sending data to the server and this data will be sent to the police tracking him. This system will be accurate and keep the records of all the criminal activity of and individual. In our project, we used the smartphones equipped with NFC can be paired with NFC Tags or stickers which can be programmed by NFC apps to automate this task. Communication of NFC, could replace the use of payment or service specific smart cards.

ABSTRACT:
With the development of technology
and the continuous improvement of people's
living standard, people are in pursuit of
automated, intelligent and convenient control
systems. Automation or automatic control is
the use of various control systems for
operating equipment such as machinery,
processes in factories, boilers and heat
treating ovens, switching on telephone
networks, steering and stabilization of ships,
aircraft and other applications with minimal
or reduced human intervention. Automation
is not completed without wireless
communication. Wireless communication is
the transfer of information between two or
more points that are not connected by an
electrical conductor. Nowadays server based
remote car control system plays an important
role in day-to-day life. In this paper
advancement is introduced in remote
controlled car using ANDROID mobile
phone. Remote control involves controlling
the car and tracking the car’s position. The
new idea introduced is used to reduce the
workload of a server and to reduce the time
required. In this method server workloads is
reduced by making a communication
between user’s mobile phone and the module
in the vehicle through internet.
INTRODUCTION:
Nowadays smart phones are becoming
more powerful with reinforced processors, larger
storage capacities, richer entertainment function
and more communication methods. In recent
years, an open-source platform Android has been
widely used in smart phones. Android has
complete software package consisting of an
operating system, middleware layer and core
applications. Different from other existing
platform like iOS (iPhone OS), it comes with
software development kit (SDK), which provides
essential tools and Application. Android is
a mobile operating system (OS), based on Linux
kernel and designed primarily
for touchscreen mobile devices.
The Internet is a massive network of
networks, a networking infrastructure. It
connects millions of computers together globally,
forming a network in which any computer can
communicate with any other computer as long as
they are both connected to the Internet. The
World Wide Web, is a way of accessing
information over the medium of the Internet. It is
an information-sharing model that is built on top
of the Internet. An Internet Protocol address (IP
address) is a numerical label assigned to each
device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a
computer network that uses the Internet
Protocol for communication. An IP address
2. Idea for new research 2016
serves two principal functions: host or network
interface identification and location addressing.
Its role has been characterized as follows:
"A name indicates what we seek. An address
indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get
there.
With the help of internet, vehicle can be
tracked and controlled using android mobile.
A vehicle tracking system combines the use
of automatic vehicle location in individual
vehicles with software that collects these fleet
data for a comprehensive picture of vehicle
locations. Modern vehicle tracking systems
commonly use GPS technology for locating the
vehicle, but other types of automatic vehicle
location technology can also be used. Vehicle
information can be viewed on electronic
maps via the Internet or specialized software.
Urban public transit authorities are an
increasingly common user of vehicle tracking
systems, particularly in large cities.
Consider the system which consists of vehicle
module, server, and mobile phone. In order to
track the vehicle’s position remotely,
communication between mobile phone and
vehicle module is essential. Vehicle module
consists of GPRS unit for communication and
GPS unit for location identification. Mobile
phone should have GPRS facility for the purpose
of communication. If the user wants to track the
location of the vehicle or to control the
peripherals, the communication between mobile
and the module in the vehicle is needed. In
conventional method every second, mobile
communicates with the vehicle module
through server. Vehicle unit registers its IP
address in the server and mobile phone gets
the information from the vehicle unit through
server using IP address of the vehicle unit.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this proposed method, there are 2
modules. They are mobile module (i.e.) android
app and hardware module. First, the user needs
to install the android app in mobile phone.
Android app consists of 4 tabs such as vehicle
control page, Map view, Registration page,
Factors settings to configure the I/O devices to
the hardware module.
Fig.1 General Purpose vehicle hardware
module
Control tab is used to control
peripherals of the vehicle. Map view tab is
used to view the vehicle’s current location in
map view. Registration page is used to
register IP address and port number of the
vehicle module in the server. Hardware
module consists of GPS, GPRS, ARM
processor, and analog input output pins. In
order to connect android app and hardware

etc.
Analog input for

oil level, heat etc.
3. Idea for new research 2016
module user should configure the device
using TCP/IP protocol. 16 digital I/O and 8
analog inputs in the hardware module are
used to establish connection between android
app and hardware module. These digital I/O
includes door control, engine control, parking
lamp control etc. 8 analog input includes fuel
level monitoring, air level monitoring, oil
level monitoring, etc. User should configure
these analog and digital pins by using TCP/IP
protocol. The processes involved in the
proposed system are classified into 3 stages:
First stage: Registration
Vehicle module’s IP address and port number
should be registered in the server.
Second stage: (Connection Request)
User (mobile phone) should receive the IP
address and port number of the vehicle
module through server.
Third stage: (Connection Establishment)
After getting the IP address, Mobile phone
will start to establish connection with the
vehicle unit directly without the help of
server.
First, vehicle unit register its IP address and
port number for the very first time in the
server. Mobile phone gets the IP address and
port number of vehicle unit through server
only once. After getting this IP address and
port number from the server, mobile phone
truncates the communication with the server
and starts to communicate with the vehicle
unit directly. Vehicle’s peripheral unit can
also be controlled through communication.
For example door can closed or opened and
AC in car can be switched ON or OFF
remotely. Port number is used for the
purpose of simultaneous communication (i.e)
more than one user can communicate with
the vehicle unit at the same time through
different port number. IP address is the one
which changes with respect to time. If the IP
address of the vehicle changed due to any
interruption, then vehicle unit disconnects
communication with the mobile phone. Now
mobile phone cannot track the location
information of the vehicle. To track the
location information, again the vehicle unit
should register the IP address in the server
and the mobile phone must get the IP address
and port number again for the purpose of
communication between them.

and track the vehicle remotely. These actions
