Presenting a traffic management and control system in driver assistance form based on vehicular networks

Аннотация

Vehicular Networks is considered a major step in the field of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). In this technology, some equipment will be installed on vehicles and special places at roadsides which will enable the wireless communication between vehicles with each other and will provide the communication between the vehicles and roadside equipment. One of the ITS application is Traffic monitoring system. Such system enables accessing traffic videos by traffic monitoring centers to make traffic decision. However, providing traffic video for the vehicles can be appealing. This paper addresses a new application in vehicular networks and ITS which can provide this videos for drivers in a city. Each driver request timely traffic video of a location from a web server and the web server forward this request to a stream management server. This server based on current location of the requester vehicle, its speed and its direction calculates appropriate video chunks for each RSU along vehicle destination. This study aims to present a system which can bring a high accessibility for content and can provide it with an appropriate bandwidth and quality for vehicles. Due to the scalability and bandwidth limitations for its content and streaming, vehicular networks are used in this system.
