چکیده
VANET is an emerging mobile ad hoc network paradigm that facilitates vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. The most important application of the VANET is for driving safety. Road condition-awareness is critical for driving safety. Existing VANETbased systems usually assume drivers detect and report safety related road conditions, which however may be untrue because, drivers may not be willing to perform these duties, or such duties may distract drivers and thus make driving even unsafe. Therefore, automatic detection without human intervention is desired. As the first contribution of this thesis work, an automatic road condition detection system has been designed based on the idea of collecting and analysing the footprints of vehicles to infer anomaly. It has also been studied how to utilize inexpensive roadside devices, such as sensors, to facilitate the information collection and analysis, especially in the absence of connectivity between vehicles. Due to the difficulty of conducting large-scale experiments on real roads, simulation plays an important role in VANET research. To make simulation close to the reality, it is desired to include detailed and realistic simulation of vehicle behaviour under various road conditions, and this is especially needed for studies targeted at driving safety. In the past, however, the simulation of vehicle behaviours are often overly simplified and implemented as a trivial extension of the network simulator. As a second contribution of this thesis work, a detailed and realistic simulator of vehicle behaviour has been developed based on the car-following and lane-changing models. As the simulation of vehicle behaviour and that of communication behaviour are different tasks, they should be implemented separately for better modularity and meanwhile they should be seamlessly integrable. As another contribution of this thesis work, the online and seamless

متن کاملA neuro-fuzzy approach to vehicular traffic flow prediction for a metropolis in a developing country
Short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. The strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. This paper establishes the applicatio...
متن کاملCollaborative Data Dissemination in Opportunistic Vehicular Networks
Future opportunistic vehicular networks offers viable means for collaborative data dissemination by high-capacity device-to-device communication. This is a highly challenging problem because a) mobile data items are heterogeneous in size and lifetime; b) mobile users have different interests to different data; and c) dissemination participants have limited storages. We study collaborative data ...
