E-Bicycle Demonstration on the Tour De France

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the E-bicycle demonstration held within the Tour De France. It was performed by the Nautilus6 working group in order to see the impact and usage of new IPv6 mobility protocols in the real life. We report our experience of settting an IPv6 mobile network demonstration where a E-car and two E-bicycles are communicating together while being in motion. The scenario involves network mobility managed by NEMO Basic support and optimized group communication via Xcast6. We finally put forward the results of the demonstration and give recommendations for future deployment.
