Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks are used to perform distributed sensing in various fields like health, military, home etc where the sensor nodes communicate among themselves and do distributed computation over the sensed values to identify the occurrence of an event. The architecture for distributed computation of primitive recursive functions and median is presented in this paper. This paper assumes the no memory computational model of sensor nodes; in the architecture for primary recursive functions i.e. the sensor nodes only have two registers. This assumption is not made for the computation of median. This paper also explores the applications of wireless sensor networks in building a smart, hassle free transportation system. In purview of emerging technologies like Internet of things and Vehicular Ad Hoc networks, the transport system can be made user friendly by including itinerary planning, dynamic speed boards etc. Already research is moving in the direction of making transport system efficient and user-friendly. This paper serves as a one more step in the process of achieving it.
