Abstract

Safety of road travel can be increased if vehicles can be made to form groups for communicating data among themselves. The Bluetooth protocol can be used for inter-vehicle communication among vehicles equipped with Bluetooth devices. This work presents a novel approach to increase the safety of road travel using the concepts of wireless sensor networks and the Bluetooth protocol. We discuss how vehicles can form mobile ad-hoc networks and exchange data sensed by the on-board sensors. The fusion of these data could give a better understanding of the surrounding traffic conditions. The feasibility of using Bluetooth for data exchange among vehicles is evaluated. Coverage area and probability of detection plots for isotropic and non-isotropic sensors are analyzed to study their use to avoid potential dangerous situations in traffic. As the simulation results show, Bluetooth and sensor networks can be used collaboratively to increase the safety of road travel.

将蓝牙和传感器网络用于智能交通系统

如果可以使车辆形成组，以便彼此之间进行数据通信，则可以提高道路旅行的安全性。蓝牙协议可用于配备蓝牙设备的车辆之间的车际通信。这项工作提出了一种利用无线传感器网络和蓝牙协议的概念来提高道路旅行安全性的新方法。我们讨论了车辆如何形成移动自组织网络并交换车载传感器感知的数据。这些数据的融合可以更好地了解周围的交通状况。评估了使用蓝牙进行车辆间数据交换的可行性。分析了各向同性和非各向同性传感器探测图的覆盖面积和概率，研究了它们在避免交通中潜在危险情况中的应用。仿真结果表明，蓝牙和传感器网络可以协同使用，以提高道路行驶的安全性。
