Findings

Effective alerting of misbehaving vehicles and pedestrians.

Real-time vehicle monitoring via Grafana dashboard.

Enhanced coordination between emergency and commercial vehicles.

Abstract

Today's major concern in traffic management systems includes time-efficient emergency transports. The awareness of environment and vehicle information is necessary for the emergency vehicles as well as the surrounding commercial vehicles that might be driven by inexperienced drivers to act accordingly if they both interact. The information exchange should be quick and accurate along with how much interactive the alerting system is with the drivers. Therefore, technologies like V2X-based alert systems can deal with such emergency situations and hence prevent potential health or social hazards. An alerting system as a part of a smart-connected city is proposed in this paper. The Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) based system has tried to cover the major domain of information about misbehaving vehicles, any pedestrians on the road, and information about the emergency vehicle itself. The commercial vehicle also will have a similar alert system as an application of V2V and V2I. Further in this paper, a realtime monitoring system was developed using grafana dashboard which will be installed in the area's base station to monitor the vehicles in that area.
