Location Based Services (LBS) are gaining prime importance in our increasingly mobile and highly IT enabled world. With modern legislation and interest in utilizing Geo-spatial information for providing practically useful information to users of mobile services the scope and capability of informing, alerting and involving the user. Present study emphasizes more on the role of LBS for tracking the optimal path on road. The area of traffic aims to support drivers with a set of manifold services relating to their vehicles. It includes the automatic configuration of appliances and added features within the vehicles, diagnostics of malfunctions. The most widespread application so far has been navigation, which is enabled by systems that are equipped with GSM/GPRS units and can thus keep the driver up-to-date with information from a remote server, including information on, for example, the latest traffic jams, weather conditions, and road works. On the basis of this information, it becomes possible to recommend alternative routes. It can be done by providing the equipped system to traffic police man instead of providing it to individual vehicle. With the help of this, traffic police can identify the complete traffic jam on the route and can divert the traffic accordingly. For this purpose we can use more number of signals which highlights the coming traffic conjunction on the same road, with the help of which driver can plan their route accordingly. The route information can be gathered with the help of Geo-spatial Modeling. The above-suggested ways for controlling the traffic and finding the optimal path can be consider more economical as it reduces the additive instrument cost per vehicle.
