A Survey on Smart Traffic Controller in Ad Hoc Networks

Tanvi, Rahul Kad

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="text-align: justify;">During the last decades, the total number of vehicles around the world has grown enormously. Therefore road safety has become a main issue for governments and car manufacturers in the last twenty years. The vast development in the wireless technologies emerged a new type of networks, such as Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), belonging to the subcategory of traditional MANETs, which provides communication between vehicles themselves and between vehicles and infrastructure. Various new concepts such as smart cities and living labs[1] are introduced in the recent years where Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) plays an important role. A review of various Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) available with respect to our proposed scheme is done in this paper. This paper also introduces a new system that transmits information about traffic conditions that will help the driver to take proper decisions. Our proposed scheme consists of warning messages exchanged between cars, acting as nodes, which provide information to the driver about current traffic conditions.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-IN"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
