Today, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications has made a great impact on improving the quality and efficiency of the transportation system. This achievement has attracted researchers to propose more ITS applications, particularly to improve the transportation safety through Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). The major difficulty faced by these researchers is the verification of their...
Future cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) applications aimed to improve safety, efficiency and comfort on our roads put high demands on the underlying wireless communication system. To gain better understanding of the limitations of the 5.9 GHz frequency band and the set of communication protocols for medium range vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, a set of field trials with CALM...
We review research findings on Intelligent Speed Adaption (ISA) and evaluate a self-contained, onboard speed advisory system that alerts drivers when the prevailing speed limit is exceeded (passive ISA). Recent developments in technology, including improvements to GPS and other navigation aids, mean that ISA has become a commercial reality rather than an experimental novelty. Extensive trials of ISA...
This paper is researched and documented so as to be realizable in the form of a practical solution for the impending traffic problem presently observed in cities all over the world in countries like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Turkey and few other South East Asian and African countries where due to large population and inadequate infrastructure, road safety enforcement and traffic regulation...
In this manuscript we propose a wireless sensor network (WSN) based solution allowing vehicles with merely onboard sensors to avoid frontal collisions in rural highways. Unlike the current solutions that rely on heavy infrastructure, in our vehicular traffic safety solution only tiny low-cost sensors are employed. It can thus replace the infrastructure-based systems in rural and suburban areas, where...
