Vehicle Monitoring for Traffic Violation Using V2I Communication

The fundamental concept of connectivity is IoT which can be integrated into traditional communication network to solve many problems. Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) technology is an aspect of IoT enabling Intelligent Transport Systems. Vehicular monitoring as part of V2I helps decrease the problem caused by vehicles in the city, like congestion, traffic violation and road accidents. To regulate these, an instance of Vehicle-to-infrastructure communication model realizing data transmission between traffic light and vehicle is observed in this paper. A prototype of On-Board Units (OBU) and Road Side Units (RSU) are developed. Vehicles send speed, identity and location messages to the traffic controller based on ZigBee wireless technology. The message is analyzed to check speed violation. Information related to user's driving is transmitted to a monitoring server from the RSU to charge the offender of Traffic rules. Therefore, modules based on Controller Area Network(CAN) bus for in-vehicle communication, OBU details for Over speeding in highways, RSU information for Real time data collection and E-mail notification service based on violation rules are developed.
