Title: | Application of vehicle ad-hoc network in traffic control systems | Authors: | NYAMBO, Benny Mavata G. JANSSENS, Gerrit K. |
Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | EUROSIS-ETI | Source: | Stefanoui, Dan; Culita, Janetta (Ed.). Proceedings of Euromedia'2012, p. 85-90 | Abstract: | Mobile ad hoc networks find use in a variety of areas which include rescue missions, battlefields and recently in intervehicular networks, generally known as Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). This paper proposes a model for use of VANETs in an advanced traffic signal control system within a simulation environment. The idea is to use vehicular ad-hoc networking to reduce the average delay per person at road intersections. The control system is designed with a generic and flexible logic that allows it to simulate a wide range of traffic signal control types and strategies. The strategies include mechanisms for deadlock and starvation avoidance at intersections. The capabilities of the control system are illustrated through a case study in which a simulation is done for a four-way intersection and the results of the simulation studied with respect to the objectives of the prioritization strategies. An evaluation of the implemented system is performed. | Keywords: | Mobile ad hoc networks; Vehicular ad hoc networks; Intelligent transportation systems | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/14837 | ISBN: | 9789077381694 | ISI #: | 000394560300014 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | ecoom 2019 |
