The vehicular internet will drive the future of vehicular technology and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Whether it is road safety, infotainment, or driver-less cars, the vehicular internet will lay the foundation for the future of road travel. Governments and companies are pursuing driver-less vehicles as they are considered to be more reliable than humans and, therefore, safer. The ...

Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANET) are gaining importance in vehicular networks and attracting an increasing attraction from both industry and research communities. Mobility Management is one of the most important and challenging research issue in vehicular networks which support various applications of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). A specific mobility management solution is required f...

Existing regional travel forecasting systems are not typically set up to forecast usage of bicycle infrastructure and are insensitive to bicyclists' route preferences in general. We collected revealed preference, GPS data on 162 bicyclists over the course of several days and coded the resulting trips to a highly detailed bicycle network model. We then use these data to estimate bicyclist route ...

I recent years there has been a growing concern over the congested conditions of our urban highway facilities. The continuing escalation of adverse driving conditions in major urban areas has generated a feeling of discontent among automobile owners and transportation planners alike. One major factor that has contributed to this feeling of dissatisfaction is the rapid pace with which many of th...

There has been significant progress in the field of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) over the last several years which support vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. With the two types of communication modes, user can access the internet and existing mobility management can be reviewed. Mobility management and handoffs are the most challenging research issues for vehi...

Traffic policemen working in the busy traffic signal areas get exposed to the vehicular emissions for years together. The fumes, chemicals and particles present in the emission are reported to be damaging to the lung functions of these individuals. Since there were no data available on the PFT parameters of traffic police personnel of Pondicherry, this study was taken up to assess the effect of...

The increase of wasted time and pollution due to vehicular traffic has paved the way to many different countermeasures, ranging from the enforcement of congestion tolls to the commercialization of vehicles powered by low-emission hybrid engines. Advanced traveler information systems (ATISs), which are capable of supplying updated traffic information to all those citizens that are driving throug...

This article presents the theoretical basis for modeling univariate traffic condition data streams as seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average processes. This foundation rests on the Wold decomposition theorem and on the assertion that a one-week lagged first seasonal difference applied to discrete interval traffic condition data will yield a weakly stationary transformation. Moreover,...

This paper explores recent improvements in 802.11p multi-channel protocol in vehicular ad-hoc networks. We provide definitions for a vehicular network and explore the operation of 802.11 within a vehicular network. We also study on areas of improvements of this protocol and briefly discuss on advantages and disadvantages of each solution.

—There are problems of low delivery radio and high transmission delay in Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks (a.b. VDTN. To address these problems, this paper proposes a Vehicular Delay-tolerant Network routing algorithm based on Contention (a.b. VDNC). VDTN algorithm consists of three strategies: the intersection selection strategy based on the Manhattan distance and traffic information, the fi...
