On the Study of Vehicle Density in Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract: Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are wireless communication networks which support cooperative driving among vehicles on the road. The specific characteristics of VANETs favor the development of attractive and challenging services and applications which rely on message exchanging among vehicles. These communication capabilities depend directly on the existence of nearby vehicles able to exchange information. Therefore, higher vehicle densities favor the communication among vehicles. However, vehicular communications are also strongly affected by the topology of the map (i.e., wireless signal could be attenuated due to the distance between the sender and receiver, and obstacles usually block signal transmission). In this paper, we study the influence of the roadmap topology and the number of vehicles when accounting for the vehicular communications capabilities, especially in urban scenarios. Additionally, we consider the use of two parameters: the SJ Ratio (SJR) and the Total Distance (TD), as the topology-related factors that better correlate with communications performance. Finally, we propose the use of a new density metric based on the number of vehicles, the complexity of the roadmap, and its maximum capacity. Hence, researchers will be able to accurately characterize the different urban scenarios and better validate their proposals related to cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems based on vehicular communications.

A review on vehicle to vehicle communication system applications

Abstract: The field of automated vehicle technology is developing rapidly developing. While it is likely to be many years before self-driving cars are commercially viable and used in a wide range of conditions by the general public, technological advances are speeding along the automated technology continuum towards this destination. Automated vehicle technologies troth with significant social benefits such as reduced injuries and deaths, increased road efficiency, mobility. Automated vehicles can improve traffic safety, balance traffic flows, maximize road usage by offering driver warnings and/or assuming vehicle control in dangerous situations, as well as provide motorists with the best end-to-end transportation experience and reduce emissions, which are the most important goals of modern smart traffic control infrastructures. Exchanging data and integration of such systems with Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) may be a keystone to successful readying of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) and will simply be the following step of this evolution, with dynamic period of time data exchange between all the players of the traffic dominant system and fostering cooperative urban quality. One of the applications of this concept is to provide vehicles and roads with the ability to make road time more enjoyable and also to make roads safer. These applications are typical examples of what an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is called, whose objective is to improve security by using new information and communication technologies (NTIC). In this paper, we will focus on the study of the main component in ITS systems and present a review of the major V2V benefits related to driver safety by focusing primarily on the recent developments of these systems.

Inter-vehicular Communication Systems, Protocols and Middleware

Abstract: Inter-vehicular communication is an important research area that is rapidly growing due to considerable advances in mobile and wireless communication technologies, as well as the growth of microprocessing capabilities inside today’s cars, and other moving vehicles. A good amount of research has been done to exploit the different services that can be provided to enhance the safety and comfort of the driver. Additional functions provide the car electronics and the passengers with access to the Internet and other core network resources. This paper provides a survey of the latest advances in the area of inter-vehicular communication (IVC) including vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) functions and services. In addition, the paper presents the most important projects and protocols that are involved in IVC systems as well as the different issues and challenges that exist at each layer of the networking model.

Experimental evaluation for IPv6 over VANET geographic routing

Abstract: Vehicular communication is an important part of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Geographic routing in vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is becoming an interesting topic to deliver safety messages between cars but also between a car and a roadside infrastructure within a designated destination area. The Car2Car Communication Consortium specified C2CNet architecture as a geographic routing protocol. The results of GeoNet project are presented in the paper, which aims at combining IPv6 networking and C2CNet. The system with IPv6 and C2CNet is designed and implemented in Linux. The prototype implementation is first evaluated indoor testbed with the fixed positions. Then it is evaluated in the field testbed with three vehicles with various scenarios. For evaluation in field testbed, we have developed the AnaVANET evaluation tool to perform the evaluation taking into account all of geographic factors.
