Description

A SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING TRAFFIC

VISUALIZATION AND CUSTOMIZED DRIVING SUPPORT

FIELD

[0001] The embodiments herein generally relate to providing visualization of traffic for providing driving support. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a system and method providing traffic visualization for customized driving support.

BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART

[0002] Roadways are one of the major and convenient modes of facilitating transportation between any given geographical location, terrain and distance. Roads have been extensively constructed across difficult topographies enabling vehicles to travel and transport goods to any given remote location. Consequently, the number of vehicles plying on these roads at any point of time has increased significantly.

[0003] However, the increasing traffic on the road has resulted in a rise in the frequency of accidents. Difficult terrains, inexperienced drivers, driving without compliance to rules and other factors are few of the main causes of such incidents. Further, owing to the remote location, topography and terrain, it is not possible to manually supervise the traffic at all given times.

[0004] Conventionally, to prevent accidents and facilitate smooth driving on the roads, warning signs are put up on accident prone areas, and traffic signs are installed to alert the driver of the roads ahead. However, these measures provide limited assistance in unpredictable situations such as increased traffic in narrow roads, haphazard driving of neighboring vehicles, environmental conditions, and other sudden changes in the terrain of the road. Hence, these disadvantages have constrained drivers in travelling across the existing network of roadways to a full extent. [0005] Therefore, there is a need for a system to provide customized driving support to each vehicle for preventing accidents on roads. Moreover, there is a need for a system and method of providing visualization of traffic along with customized driving support.

OBJECTS

[0006] Some of the objects of the present disclosure are described herein below: [0007] The main objective of the present disclosure is to provide a system and method of providing traffic visualization and customized driving support.

[0008] Another objective of the present disclosure is to provide a system and method of providing both real-time driving support and predictive driving support for assisting driving of the vehicles and preventing accidents.

[0009] Still another objective of the present disclosure is to provide a system and method of providing traffic visualization through a graphical representation based on factors impacting driving at the location.

[00010] Yet another objective of the present disclosure is to provide a system and method of customizing driving support for each vehicle at a location based on relative factors.

[00011] The other objectives and advantages of the present disclosure will be apparent from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are incorporated for illustration of preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope thereof.
