Software system for broadcasting and monitoring traffic information

Abstract

The purpose of the presented project is the development of a software system for broadcasting, tracking and managing traffic related information. The system contains a server and an Android client application for reporting and displaying traffic related events (traffic cameras, traffic jams, accidents, roadblocks, etc.). It also includes a web application for the system administrators and another web application for data management and analysis. Like other similar applications, the Sparrow project uses a predefined camera database, but it also gives opportunity for the users to report events in real-time. The software system ensures several additional functionalities, such as visual and audio notifications about the approaching events and data filtering possibilities. The interface of the client application is intuitive and it is easy and safe to use while driving.
