The Dynamics of Vehicular Networks in Urban Environments
Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) have emerged as a platform to support
intelligent inter-vehicle communication and improve traffic safety and
performance. The road-constrained, high mobility of vehicles, their unbounded
power source, and the emergence of roadside wireless infrastructures make
VANETs a challenging research topic. A key to the development of protocols for
inter-vehicle communication and services lies in the knowledge of the
topological characteristics of the VANET communication graph. This paper
explores the dynamics of VANETs in urban environments and investigates the
impact of these findings in the design of VANET routing protocols. Using both
real and realistic mobility traces, we study the networking shape of VANETs
under different transmission and market penetration ranges. Given that a number
of RSUs have to be deployed for disseminating information to vehicles in an
urban area, we also study their impact on vehicular connectivity. Through
extensive simulations we investigate the performance of VANET routing protocols
by exploiting the knowledge of VANET graphs analysis.Comment: Revised our testbed with even more realistic mobility traces. Used
the location of real Wi-Fi hotspots to simulate RSUs in our study. Used a
larger, real mobility trace set, from taxis in Shanghai. Examine the
implications of our findings in the design of VANET routing protocols by
implementing in ns-3 two routing protocols (GPCR & VADD). Updated the
bibliography section with new research work
Requirement analysis for building practical accident warning systems based on vehicular ad-hoc networks
An Accident Warning System (AWS) is a safety application that provides collision avoidance notifications for next generation vehicles whilst Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) provide the communication functionality to exchange these notifi- cations. Despite much previous research, there is little agreement on the requirements for accident warning systems. In order to build a practical warning system, it is important to ascertain the system requirements, information to be exchanged, and protocols needed for communication between vehicles. This paper presents a practical model of an accident warning system by stipulating the requirements in a realistic manner and thoroughly reviewing previous proposals with a view to identify gaps in this area
Stable Infrastructure-based Routing for Intelligent Transportation Systems
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) have been instrumental
in reshaping transportation towards safer roads, seamless
logistics, and digital business-oriented services under the umbrella of
smart city platforms. Undoubtedly, ITS applications will demand
stable routing protocols that not only focus on Inter-Vehicle Communications
but also on providing a fast, reliable and secure interface to
the infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a novel stable infrastructure-
based routing protocol for urban VANETs. It enables vehicles
proactively to maintain fresh routes towards Road-Side Units
(RSUs) while reactively discovering routes to nearby vehicles. It
builds routes from highly stable connected intersections using a selection
policy which uses a new intersection stability metric. Simulation
experiments performed with accurate mobility and propagation
models have confirmed the efficiency of the new protocol and its
adaptability to continuously changing network status in the urban
environment
An Efficient Intersection Based VANET Routing Strategy on Smart City Roads Using Real-Time Vehicular Traffic
Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) enable vehicles to create a self-organized network while not the necessity for a permanent infrastructure and routing in VANETs may be a difficult task attributable to the high quality and high density of mobile nodes. Position-based routing protocols, that are principally supported greedy routing, are additional suited to extremely dynamic and mobile network. attention of the scientific community is to style network familiarized position-based routing protocols, and this has resulted in an exceedingly} very high range of algorithms, totally different in approach and performance and every suited solely to explicit applications. However, various, only a few positions primarily based algorithms have truly been adopted for business functions. a The aim of this work is to develop a VANET-Simulation situation for supporting varied Considering the large number of nodes that participate in these networks and their high mobility, The problem still exist about the feasibility of applications that use end-to-end multi-hop communication in Intersection Routing on City Roads when they are executed in Real-Time Vehicular Traffic. Simulation was done using urban city maps settings and they will evaluate performance best in terms of average delivery rate
