Mobile Crowed Sensing based Intelligent Transport Systems In Ethiopia, there is a dramatic increasing of vehicle number especially in the capital, Addis Ababa. However, road Infrastructure growth is lagging behind growth in vehicle volumes. Better traffic management and more information to travelers can alleviate traffic woes.    Every day, we are experiencing horrible traffic accidents as shown on Figure 1(a) and daily crowed and congestion Figure 1(b). Current traffic monitoring systems use fixed-position traffic sensors (using either roadside cameras or magnetic loops embedded in the ground) to monitor traffic volume. However, the high cost of the equipment and its installation makes such a system available only on major roads. Now that, many people carry mobile phones with a GPS receiver, mobile-phone-based traffic monitoring systems are gaining attention due to their low cost and large coverage (e.g., the Mobile Millennium Project by UC Berkeley).
