Traffic Management in Vehicular Ad Hoc Network Vanet

Abstract

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network(VANET) are expected to support a large spectrum of mobile distributed applications that range from traffic alert dissemination and dynamic route planning to context-aware advertisement and file sharing. VANET helps in defining the safety measures in the vehicles, streaming communication between different vehicles, infotainment and telematics. Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks are expected to implement a variety of wireless technologies like Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) which is a type of Wi-Fi. Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks can be viewed as component of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Traffic congestion has a number of negative effects and is a major problem in today's society. Several techniques have been deployed to deal with this problem. In this project, we have proposed an innovative approach to solve one of the many problems caused by traffic congestion. The system is developed and tested using the SUMO simulator. "Simulation of Urban Mobility", or "SUMO" for short, is an open source, microscopic, multi-model traffic simulation tool. It allows us to simulate the given traffic demand, that consists of many vehicles moves through a given roadmap. The simulation allows addressing a large number of traffic management topics. It is purely microscopic in nature: each vehicle is modelled explicitly, has its own route, and moves individually through the network. Using simulations the applicability of the algorithm in the domain of vehicle traffic congestion in a VANET, is demonstrated.
