IEEE802.11 Based Vehicle-to-Vehicle Delay Tolerant Networks for Road Surveillance System in Local Areas

Abstract

In northern areas, the road conditions during the winter especially in mountain areas are one of the significant safety subjects for the residences and the tourists. In addition, there are some areas that the network services such as LTE or 3G are unavailable to use in mountain areas. For this reason, this paper proposed the Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication methods with the Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) for the road surveillance system. In the proposed network system, IEEE802.11b/g/p is supposed for introducing the wireless V2V system, and the observed road condition's data is transmitted with the DTN routings. For the efficiency of the proposed network system, the GIS road maps of Takizawa in Japan are introduced for the computational simulations. Also, various DTN routings such as the Epidemic, the Spray and Wait, and the Maxprop routing are held for the future studies of the V2V based DTN routings of the road surveillance system in local areas during the winter.
