Abstract

Disclosed is a method and system enabling power effective participatory sensing. The hand held device of the system is equipped with plurality of sensors, and is configured to enable the power effective sensor to monitor operation of the power intensive sensors. In one embodiment, a participatory sensing approach is used for traffic condition. A methodology for triggering power hungry sensors (audio) with the help of low power sensors (accelerometer) is presented which is able to reduce the overall power consumption of the mobile device. Further, a decision tree based approach is used to classify the level of congestion by measuring the horn density in a particular location.
