Architecture of a GPS-based road management system

Malfunctioning traffic lights, potholes and roads in bad condition are only a few of the innumerable common thoroughfare problems that occasionally contribute to accidents. People tend to ignore reporting those issues as the channels for making a complaint is inconvenient. Accuracy of complaints is...
