Traffic and congestion analysis using online mapping services

Abstract

Traffic congestion is a major concern in highly populated metropolitan cities like Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, etc. In developing countries like India, most of the traffic management is done manually. While building better roads, new covers, etc help reduce traffic congestion, we ask the question if existing resources are being used optimally. The aim of our project is to assist the traffic management authorities in Delhi by automating some management processes. Our project is two-fold- the first is automating traffic congestion detection and the second is augmenting the vision of the local traffic cop by providing real-time traffic analysis.
