A Novel Road Monitoring Approach Using Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

This paper shows an innovative Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) architecture based on a flexible Quality of Service (QoS) approach for road traffic management. The aim of this work is to analyse an algorithm that dynamically enables/disables some cameras according to the real need to monitor a given area, It is based on traffic volume measured values. This approach has been developed in order to manage both network topology and workload conditions, using a fuzzy logic controller for a flexible QoS management. Performances of this approach have been evaluated using True Time and Simulink/Matlab.
