Abstract

The explosive rate of increase in number of habitats and vehicles in different areas of the developing countries like Nigeria has motivated government of such world engage in both rural and urban road construction for ease of navigation. This brings stresses in navigating such roads with public traffic hence noise pollution to the environment. For effective autonomous geo-spatial navigation service, we propose a web based model implemented as intelligent mobile application for route finding and transport cost analysis. A case study observed on data collated from different areas within Ile-Ife and its surroundings shows that the system aid users in making decision regarding transportation alternatives. This study shows how to help people living in such parts of the world reach their destinations when navigating unknown routes with reduced transportation cost.
