The development and evaluation of Vehicle-to-X (V2X) applications using mobile cellular networks by means of field tests is time consuming and expensive. Simulations can speed up the development and largely reduce evaluation costs. However, due to the complex nature of the network involved, it is quite difficult to be certain that the results obtained using simulation will actually match the observable...
Developing countries like India needs a significant improvement in infrastructure such as Roads or Highways. Construction of these highways is a costly affair, which can't be invested by the government alone. Normally Public private partnerships are made to construct such a huge projects. The money spent on these projects can be regained by collecting toll from the passengers who use the roads. The...
Just imagine what happens if you are pulled over by a Traffic sergeant, and you did not have your driver's license with you. Without it, you cannot drive a vehicle on public roadways so it is possible for cop to fine you. Therefore, it is important for you to carry your Driver's License everywhere. On the other side, it is hectic job for a Cop to verify if the Driver's license is original, is it valid,...
Easiness of public & tourist's travel within a city is an important task for central and State Government. They have to access a combination of public transport options like metros, trams, buses and private options like cabs services and hired vehicles. Delhi, being the capital city of India, enjoys the usage of public transport by millions of travelers. Currently all route information on mobile...
Road traffic congestion is a major issue in most mega cities. The traffic jams are often exacerbated by drivers habitually following the same routes. A real-time, optimum vehicle routing system that takes traffic density into account can be a possible solution to this problem. This paper presents RouteFinder, a system of providing real-time traffic density mapping on the driver's smartphone using...
In this paper, we present a mobility cloud platform called CarCloud that has been designed to facilitate the real-world deployment of ubiquitous mobile telematic applications to promote smart transportation. CarCloud leverages the mobility, sensing and communication capacities of mobile devices, and collaborates with sensors embedded in vehicles (e.g., accessed via OBD-II) and cloud services to form...
In recent year, consumption and logistics pattern have changed with the development of economy and gradual increase of national income. Commercial vehicle operation (CVO) has been an popular application of intelligent transportation systems. The location determination of on-board unit (OBU) in car is an important issue for CVO. Therefore, his study proposes a high-efficiency mobile positioning method...
The vehicular routing is a smart driving direction service based on GPS traces using crowd sourcing g of Taxi drivers. An online social service based system primarily on the service employs crowd sourcing to provide real-time traffic updates. It finds out the practically fastest driving directions with less online computation. It propose a time-dependent landmark graph is used to provide the practically...
In this paper, we proposed an architecture of a hierarchical networked urban traffic signal control system Based on Multi-agent. With mobile agent technology, traffic control strategies are designed as traffic control agents, which can move from device to device in a network. The system can reconfigure and replace these agents according to inconstant states of traffic environment and performances...
Global Positioning System (GPS) is becoming widely used for tracking and monitoring vehicles. Many systems have been created to provide such services which make them popular and needed more than ever before. In this paper a “GPS vehicle tracking system” is proposed. This system is useful for fleet operators in monitoring driving behavior of employees or parents monitoring their teen drivers. Moreover,...
Technology advances in both computations and wireless communications have made it economically feasible for manufacturers to collect data from all the cars in order to monitor their operations and detect any potential problems. However to make this a reality requires a new architecture that can effectively handle vehicle mobility, intermittent connectivity, and data security, as well as scale to large...
In this paper we present results of the new monitoring network for spectrum governance. The network is based on the RFeye system of CRFS where the data is collected employing mobile monitoring vehicles. The measurement data, obtained from a frequency sweep between 10 MHz and 6 GHz, is further analyzed. For this purpose a tool is made, tailored for the needs of the spectrum regulator. Initial results...
In this paper, we propose a mutual authentication and key agreement scheme for V2I communications. Our scheme improves security and privacy protection compared with the existing protocols. We consider common driver's tendency to design a more efficient scheme. The results of the security and performance analysis show that our scheme is suitable for practical use in terms of security, privacy, and...
With the increasing vehicle use on the road, the collection, processing and transmission of data flow within and outside these vehicles are increasingly complex. These data is often important and sometime critical for drivers and passengers, particularly for remote monitoring and control applications. There are various forms of vehicle data and hence various types of networking used in different vehicle...
Nowadays, wireless 802.11 access points (APs) are increasingly widespread in urban and sub-urban areas. Besides part of them offer free access, hence such infrastructure can provide intermittent Internet access to vehicles for opportunistic applications like software or digital maps updates, vehicle diagnostic reporting, and certificates/pseudonyms renewing.
Processing spatio-temporal queries pertaining to the whereabouts of a large number of mobile entities has traditionally been the topic of the Moving Objects Databases (MOD)research. More recently, due to the advances in sensing and communication technologies, part of the Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) applications have focused on tracking of mobile objects. These two observations are enough of to warrant...
Data-based agreement is increasingly used to implement traceable coordination across mobile entities such as ad-hoc networked (autonomous) vehicles. In our work, we focus on data-based agreement using database transactions where mobile entities agree on a set of coordinated tasks that need to be performed by them in an atomic way. Atomicity means that all transaction participants agree on a set of...
Equipped with recent advances in electronics and communication, wireless sensor networks gained a rapid development to provide reliable information with higher Quality of Service (QoS) at lower costs. This paper presents a realtime tracking system developed as a part of the ISSNIP BigNet Testbed project. Here a GPS receiver was used to acquire position information of mobile nodes and GSM technology...
This paper proposes a novel method for a dynamic ridesharing mechanism using the combination of several modern information and communication technologies. The increased personal usage of automobiles has caused several undesirable consequences. Waste of time, fuel and effort due to traffic congestion and scarcity of parking areas are the most obvious. Ride-sharing for routine travelling has been an...
In this work, we examine the integration of vehicular sensing and urban sensing to assess the operation, performance and environmental impact of vehicles in urban settings. We have designed an integrated framework for vehicular and urban sensing. A prototype implementation of this framework has been developed by building a testbed based on campus shuttle buses. We discuss the design and implementation...
