Big Data for Surveillance in Mobility Sector: Application and Opportunities

Abstract

Everyday technologies are evolving with rapid pace. Domain relevant innovations are the driving force in achieving new milestones in different technical sector. This paper resolves issues related to surveillance of Road Transport and Mobility Sector. There are a couple of domains which are marking their concrete existence in almost every field, like Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT). Big Data is an integral part of Data Science which deals with massive amount of data. When we talk about collecting data, there is no big source than internet. Internet of Things (IoT) plays a credible role in information generation from different locations using different devices and collecting the raw data to a centralized location, where the pennies will add up to a dollar, i.e. the small amount of data from different location when collected at one place will add up to the pool of data, which scale up from terabytes to 10s of petabytes, and thus we term it as Big Data. Road Transport and surveillance sector has a wide variety of problems, ranging from illegal breaching of vehicles without paying Toll taxes at Toll Plaza, to Violation of Traffic Signal law. All these problems can be eradicated by making use of hot technologies which uses a centralized system to handle these issues effectively and efficiently, Big Data is one such Technology. Big Data Analytics can help in optimizing operating procedure at such places.
