Abstract
A city becomes smart when common problems like traffic and issues related to local governance are successfully dealt with. Today the biggest problem any city faces is the increase in traffic due to increasing population of people and vehicles. Real time data obtained from smartphones as well as data collected over a significant period of time can help us in solving this problem to some extent. A system is proposed which uses people as sensors for solving the common problem of any city which is traffic. People's participation can help in bringing effective changes in local governance. A communication network that spans across an entire city will be built so that people can contribute to the betterment of themselves. The application under consideration is assumed to be built for the local governing body. Hence officials from various departments of the governing body can have direct communication with the common man of a city. This can indirectly prevent malpractices like corruption. Any end user will be able to raise his voice against any grievance he faces which on approval by the system and if well supported by other users, will be notified to the concerned authority with the help of notifications.
