Abstract
Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), entitled with wireless communication, are supposed to improve the safety of passengers and effectiveness of our transportation network. Transceiver is used in vehicle to exchange critical information from host vehicle to preceding vehicle. Wireless short-range communication technology is very much fastest technology which is used for transferring information. Enabling vehicle to communicate with each other, information such as traffic environment, emergency situation can be shared with the help of wireless transceiver (Zigbee) in each vehicle and an embedded microcontroller. This leads to create a safer and comfortable drive, and also GPS module is used for detecting the position of the particular vehicle. Traffic congestion is one of the major issues in the urban areas. For traffic avoidance, when a vehicle passes the traffic congestion area, driver passes that message to the vehicle approaching to that area. In this case, driver can type the message using keypad and broadcast it through Zigbee, and the vehicle approaching to that area will get pre-alert.
