This article focuses on roadside unit (RSU) deployment based on the analysis of aggregation delay causes between the accident-occurring location and the nearby RSU. Information aggregation in vehicular ad hoc networks using RSU is one of the phenomenal concepts that look ahead in today’s recent advancements, since the consistency in aggregation and dissemination of data in a volatile network is high when compared with vehicle to vehicle communications. Deploying the RSU as appropriate in rural areas is cost-sensitive since the collection of information is not up to the mark when compared with urban regions. A mathematical model called Powell’s Method and a bioinspired algorithm, namely krill herd algorithm, have been hybridized and proposed in this research article for effective RSU deployment. The proposed algorithm has been tested under three different road maps, and the consistency of the algorithm has been evaluated under appropriate performance measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
