Road Traffic Information and Monitoring System

The construction of new infrastructures has been more and more difficult to be implemented as space diminishes, the costs of building and maintenance increase, constraints related to high traffic develop, environment protection rules become strict as well as other requirements come into operation. This paper discusses issues related to mobility and safety concerning road traffic in our country now, issues that had to be dealt with earlier in other countries. The paper presents an application based on WEB technologies developed by the authors. The implementation of this application enables the author to find useful data with respect to the traffic in a certain geographical area at a given moment of the day. This kind of information can be used by the drivers in choosing a given or optimal route for the required period of time. The paper also addresses the road managers who could better manage the resources available for the information and monitoring of the road traffic. Statistical data concerning the most crowded areas in given time intervals can be provided, and the control and remote monitoring of the equipment necessary for the beneficiary can be improved
