Abstract
This paper proposes an electronic system to combat drifting and traffic noises in the urban area of Saudi Arabia. The proposed solution can be integrated into a smart city platform. The system comprises a sound processing hardware, a CCTV camera, and a GPRS module for wireless IP access. An algorithm to address drifting for noise and accidents is derived and tested over a range of audible traffic noises in Sakakah town. Hardware implementation of the algorithm using Radix-8, 64-point FFT algorithm, and a semiconductor intellectual property is elaborated. The results show that the algorithm produces no false alarm.
