Traffic Signal Status Mobile App & Research
Summary: Conducted research with academic faculty to develop proof-of-concept Android application that displays real-time traffic signal status information, produce an IEEE-formatted technical paper, and present at the 2nd CARS (Creative Activities & Research Symposium) in only 4 weeks of a 12-week summer program as an emergency replacement.
Developed a working proof-of-concept Android application to display real-time traffic status information. The private web service used in this research was tested in both Java and C# environments. All 3 projects (mobile application, Java project, C# project) are being tracked using 3 private GitHub repositories.
Research was conducted under UCCONNECT, a program funded by the US Department of Transportation & Caltrans dedicated to promoting economic competitive by enhancing multi-modal transport.
Future work is currently being pursued as I aim to complete my B.S. in Computer Engineering by December 2016. I am also transitioning and passing over my individual work to a team of 4 undergraduate students who will be continuing the project until at least June 2017.
Below are the basic abstract and introduction to the paper written for this research. Please feel free to read more into the details of the actual report attached to this entry.
Abstract:
This study aims to define, design, and implement the available traffic technologies to develop an Android application that provides real-time traffic information. The traffic data is provided via a web service provided by McCain, Inc., and the Android application is programmed using the Java programming language. Design overviews, the methodology, and additional details are provided in addition to an outline of the future works. Current results of successful connections with the McCain web
service are also provided.
Introduction:
The objective of this research is to develop an Android application to provide real-time traffic information to aid in reducing traffic signal violations and increase driving safety. A non-disclosure agreement was signed with McCain, Inc., a major provider in advanced traffic control equipment and intelligent transportation systems in the United States who has provided a web service for the mobile application to interface with and receive the real-time traffic data. The goal is to have the mobile application present this real-time traffic data in an intuitive, user-friendly interface to drivers.
