Analysis of Road Traffic Congestion using GPS NMEA-0183 Sentences in Telematics Information Management System

Abstract

Road traffic congestion can slow down the vehicles travelling on the road; increases travel time for the drivers and passengers, increases the fuel consumptions. In this paper, we have written an Android Application which is locating the vehicle in real-time using A-GPS and GPRS in the Android Phone. It generates a NMEA-0183 standard data which in turn latitude, longitude, time, speed can be extracted; and using reverse geo-coding address has been extracted. One more feature which is been added is it writes the data back to the text and csv file. These files are further analyzed for traffic congestion.
