TrafficView: a driver assistant device for traffic monitoring based on car-to-car communication

Channel Modeling for Vehicle-To-Vehicle Communications

“…This includes studies at all levels of the communications protocol stack, as well as technology developments and field trials. Some obvious benefits of V2V communication are enhanced road safety; increased commuter awareness of current traffic [3], weather, and road conditions; reduced delays at tollbooths; and the ability to enable groups of traveling cars to exchange multimedia information. Vehicular mobile ad hoc networks (VANETs) are also receiving attention, and may be used by public safety organizations [4] and the military, as well as the general public.…”

A Comparative Study of Data Dissemination Models for VANETs

“…In this paper we make use of the traffic generator tool we developed [21,22,10]. The scenario generator accepts as parameters the simulation time, road length in meters, number of lanes per road, average speed of the vehicles in meters/sec, average gap distance between vehicles on same lane, and the number of vehicles on the road.…”

“…We evaluate, by means of simulation, three data dissemination models: same − dir, opp − dir, and bi − dir in the context of TrafficView [21,10], a system for scalable traffic data dissemination and visualization in VANETs. Contrary to our expectations that using vehicles moving in both directions will yield the best performance, our analysis as well as simulation results show that dissemination using only the cars in the opposite direction increases the data dissemination performance in TrafficView significantly.…”

Ambient intelligence: Technologies, applications, and opportunities

“…This can be realized using image processing and traffic monitoring as found in the e-Road project [40]. This service can also quickly locate a place where a hazard is occurring or is likely to occur and prepare a better access to it for security personnel.…”
