1. Introduction Problem: Traffic Jam, a major drawback to our progression through everyday activities has been more of a frustration than a situation due to the lack of management. It’s a matter of road, transport facilities and long term solutions, so obviously, blaming the Govt. or respective areas of law enforcement produced no results. Therefore we have been bearing it as a crown of thorn. It is not a problem that we can eliminate immediately, but the one we can avoid. “Prevention before Cure”- as they say. Solution: An alert software that tracks and reports occurrences of traffic jam. It will show specific routes where jam are occurring real-time (based on internet/GPS services). It will provide alternate routes to destination based on that tracking.
2. Scope This App Does: Users of this app will be Android Phone users who travels using general routes described in map (Dhaka). This application uses ‘Crowd Sourcing’-a popular survey-based data collection approach, so 16+ users are more potential sources of data gathering. The system analyzes the received data and conducts search for options to a specific problem (e.g find and show routes etc). It will provide a User Interface as per user’s need to navigate through the app, along with server side assistance. This App Does NOT: It does NOT guarantee a clean, smooth experience in the route it suggested to the user. It will NOT base its assumptions on direct contact with anyone but the users. It will NOT cover any route not shown in Google Maps. It can NOT show any suggestions with no user active. It will NOT work real-time in offline mode.
