PROJECT TITLE :

BUS-VANET: A BUS Vehicular Network Integrated with Traffic Infrastructure

ABSTRACT:

With the event of wireless Communications, Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) has received considerable attention on data sharing and knowledge delivery services. In order to collect and control traffic conditions, Intelligent Transportations Systems (ITS) has deployed a range of Road Facet Units (RSUs) along the roads to collect and deliver traffic information to the Traffic Control Center (TCC) for analyzing traffic information. Though some VANET architectures have been proposed based on the predictable routes and schedules of buses, none of them considered profiting from such traffic infrastructures that already been provided by ITS and mix them with scheduled buses. During this paper, we propose a 2-tier BUSVANET that is totally integrated with RSUs and TCC as traffic infrastructures. In this new design, the communications of vehicles, not only profit from the existence of buses, but additionally take into account the results of using RSUs and TCC. RSUs are used to make sure service coverage while TCC is useful for locating the destination vehicle quickly. We tend to also investigate how abundant benefits will be obtained by cashing in on this sort of traffic infrastructure.
