This document describes a proposed traffic jam locator system for Bangladesh. The key points are:
1. The system would use a mobile app, cloud server, and map tiles to provide traffic and navigation information to users. It would collect data from GPS, reports, and historical records to predict traffic conditions.
2. The system aims to minimize traffic issues through weather and road condition analysis, accident reporting, and optimized routing. This could lessen wasted time and fuel while improving travel.
3. Implementing this system could provide location-based ads, fleet tracking services, and value-added services to mobile users. Collaboration with Robi mobile could help develop and deploy the system at low cost using crowd-sourced data
2. Constraints
1. Idea(s) must be able to
implementable in Bangladesh
social economic condition
2. Ideas must be able to add value
from Company perspective

Idea Description
• Geographical Information System
• Predictive models for traffic situation
• Weather and road condition based traffic-
sensitive directions
• Minimizing unnecessary traffic congestion due
to various small incidents [butterfly effects] by
accidents, illegal parking and major incidents
reporting.
4. Main Features of the System
Our System is divided into three layers of integration
• Mobile Application
• Cloud Server System
• Map tiles
Mobile App
•Osmdroid
Map Library
•Pure Java
•Web-View for
Windows and
IPhone
Navigation Engine
•Custom Libraries
from graphhopper,
openroute and
openroute
planner.
•C/C++
Cloudbus Service
•Map Traffic
Overlay
•Source
Proprietary

Increase the Life
Standard of Rural
and Urban People
By
• Lessening wastage
of fuel and time
• Minimizing stressed

soil and weather
8. Business Dimension of Robi
• Location Based Advertisement
• Advanced Devices will be sold and PAAS(Platform as a Service)
will provided to the corporate companies with large fleet of
vehicles for tracking and monitoring(such as transportation
companies etc.)
• As a VAS for all mobile users
SWOT Diagram for Feasibility Analysis
Strength
- Demand for
Traffic Data is high
- Multipurpose
design and
application
Weakness
- Big data concept
based application
which needs cloud
servers
Opportunity
- No provider
currently supports
traffic navigation
in Bangladesh
- Crowd Sourced
traffic is low cost
Threat
- Fast Deployment
by other
companies
• The Demand for traffic
navigation is very high in
Bangladesh
• The system needs active
development and management
9. Current Progress
We have divided our work plan into four Phases
Phase One: Data Collection and Evaluation for development tools
Phase Two: Development Of the Mobile Application
Phase Three: Deployment of Web Service and Integration of
various API
Phase Four: Commercial Deployment Stage
So far we have completed the phase one of our work.
We have Finalized these components for the system:
• Map data [Open Street Maps Data]
• Map Tiles [Mapquest Open]
• Navigation Engine [CloudBus Service + Custom Engine]
• Overlay Engine [CloudBus Service]
• Interconnected Database Management[Cloud Server]
Cloudbus a Russian cloud traffic service has
agreed to let us use their system for experimental purpose
10. Conclusion(How Robi can Help Us)
• The use of High Tech equipment for Dynamic Traffic
Assignment is not a viable option due to the economy
of Bangladesh.
• Cloud Services and Crowd-sourced Data Collection
procedure can greatly reduce the cost to provide
efficient service
• “পিিীপিকা” was a collaboration from Grameenphone and
SUST
• We hope that if Robi collaborates with us we are
positive that it will be one of the best Software in
the history of Bangladesh Software Industry.
