In this work, we propose a GRASP+VNS algorithm for solving the allocation of Roadside Units (RSUs) in a Vehicular Network. Our main objective is to find the minimum set of RSUs to meet a Deployment Delta (ρ1,ρ2). The Deployment Delta (ρ1,ρ2) is a metric for specifying minimal communication guarantees from the infrastructure supporting the Vehicular Network. We compare GRASP+VNS to some baseline algorithms:...
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) demand sophisticated vehicular networks integrating entities from the transportation sector. The ability to plan and manage such networks represents a key challenge for moving ITS solutions from laboratories into the streets. In this work, we propose Gamma Deployment as a metric for evaluating the distribution of roadside units in vehicular networks by considering...
Gamma Deployment is a metric for evaluating the distribution of roadside units in vehicular networks in terms of two parameters: a) the inter-contact time between vehicles and the infrastructure, and, b) the share of vehicles that must respect the inter-contact time guarantees. We envision the use of the Gamma Deployment metric when the network designer intends to distribute check-points along the...
In this work we propose a genetic algorithm, Delta-GA, for solving the allocation of Roadside Units (RSUs) in a Vehicular Network. Our goal is to find the minimum set of RSUs in order to meet a Deployment Δρ1ρ2. The Deployment Δρ1ρ2 is a metric for specifying minimal communication guarantees from the infrastructure supporting the Vehicular Network. We compare Delta-GA to two baseline algorithms, Delta-g...
In this work the allocation of Roadside Units (RSUs) in a V2I network is modeled as a Maximum Coverage Problem. The main objective is to maximize the number of distinct vehicles contacting the infrastructure. Two different approaches are presented to solve the problem. The first one is an ILP model that can found optimal solutions or give sharp upper and lower bounds for the problem. The second one...
In this work we propose Delta-r, a new greedy heuristic for solving the allocation of roadside units in order to meet a Δρ1ρ2-Deployment. The Δρ1ρ2-Deployment is a metric for specifying minimal levels of performance from the infrastructure supporting vehicular networks. As far as we are concerned, this is the first QoS-bounded deployment strategy considering both the contact probability, and the contact...
This paper presents a propagation model for prediction of path loss and performance parameters (throughput and frame loss) on OFDM-based networks. For this study, measurements on a 5.8 GHz Wimax network were carried out. The proposed model parameters have been adjusted by LS (Least Squares) optimization, using measured data as reference. The results show that the proposed model has a good agreement...
This case study describes the effects of using a Web Based Social Network (WBSN) approach to Knowledge Management in a Brazilian software development organization. During this work it was proposed a Knowledge Management process, with some metrics related to its phases. These metrics have been monitored since January 2008 and have been analyzed in order to verify the efficiency of this approach. In...
