Road traffic monitoring is one of the key applications in the Intelligent Transport System field.

Abstract
Road traffic monitoring is one of the key applications in the Intelligent Transport System field. New technologies are now provided in this field and among the most relevant ones there is the DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) set of protocols and standards where vehicles wirelessly communicate. In this paper, we deal with the application of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks to road traffic monitoring and we present the design of two distributed protocols based on the DSRC. A realistic simulation of a main expressway in Rome, Italy, is implemented and the performances of the two proposed monitoring methodologies are evaluated in case of regular traffic conditions and in case of a car accident. In both cases the protocols are able to capture in a very quick time (few seconds) the current traffic conditions even on a quite long road of about 70 km. A discussion about the impact of the market penetration rate of the on-board DSRC devices on the protocols performance is also provided. © 2014 IEEE.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
