Research Abstract: 

Recently, different technologies have been deployed to assist and manage transportation. Many concentrated efforts in academia and industry point to a paradigm shift in intelligent transportation systems. Vehicles will carry computing and communication platforms, along with enhanced sensing capabilities. Transportation faces many issues like high accidents rate in general, and much more rate in developing countries due to the lack of proper infrastructure for roads, is one of the reasons for these crashes. This work focuses on public transportation vehicles, where the goal of the project is to design and deploy a smart unit attached to public vehicles by using embedded microcontroller and sensors and empowering them to communicate with each other through wireless technologies such as WiFi. Our system mainly targeted to reduce traffic violations, by assuming that drivers are likely to change the way they drive if their vehicles are equipped with intelligent transportation equipment.
