Abstract

In this paper we present SmartRoad, a crowd-sourced sensing system that detects and identifies traffic regulators, traffic lights and stop signs in particular. As an alternative to expensive road surveys, SmartRoad works on participatory sensing data collected from GPS sensors from in-vehicle s-martphones. The resulting traffic regulator information can be used for many assisted-driving or navigation systems. We implement SmartRoad on a vehicular smartphone testbed, and deploy on 35 external volunteer users' vehicles for two months. Experiment results show that SmartRoad can robustly, effectively and efficiently carry out its detection and identification tasks without consuming excessive communication energy/bandwidth or requiring too much ground truth information.
