Evaluating new prototyping framework based on combining embedded sensors data and ns2 simulations

Abstract

ADAS systems become increasingly integrated and provide more comprehensive driver support using information coming from surrounding environment and sensors for the modeling of the global environment. The evolution of technologies over the coming years will involve applications usingV2V and V2I communications. The optimization of these applications tosupport driving systems is not completed because the communications between vehicles are not well controlled. This paper aims at encouraging the cooperation between two software systems. An integrated framework for prototyping new communicating ”ADAS” systems is presented. This framework will achieve the communication and the data merging from different systems. It consists of two components, a Real-Time Multi-sensors Advanced Prototyping (RTMaps) that realizes data acquisition from different sources, and a network simulator (ns2) that simulates wireless packet transmission. We willassessthe impact ofcommunication in this new framework of ADAS by combining embedded sensors data (GPS-vision) and V2V simulations towards collision avoidance application. Multiple results from different scenarios are validated to prove the feasibility and the performance efficiency of real-time multi sensors. We assess the whole system under different traffic scenarios and different routing algorithms.
