GIS Driven Urban Traffic Analysis Based on Ontology

Abstract

Geographic Information System (GIS) is designed to work with data referenced by spatial coordinates. The traffic is growing at a very high pace. Since there is a limit to geographical access, the growing vehicle volume has become difficult to control. GIS is the best way to manage traffic in a particular location. However, most traffic systems cannot share and exchange data with GIS because of incompatible spatial data format and the lack of unified data format definition. The proposed system concentrates on creating the ontology and carrying out the annotations. It will perform traffic analysis and highlight the different traffic zones. It will also suggest alternate path so that users can be diverted to different routes. The system will also divert traffic if the road is blocked. Notification about traffic diversion will be made using SMS gateway.
