Vehicular ad hoc networks: Trimming pile-ups in data dissemination using HTPVANET algorithm

Abstract

The extensive growth of traffic on highways and junctions hampers the safe and effective movement of traffic. The ascending car accident rate has led to research on deriving optimal solution to streamline the traffic and to take alternate measures to reduce accidents. The promise of intelligent traffic system and early warning system enables effective monitoring of road mishaps. VANET is a subset of MANET. VANET is a self-organizing network in which each vehicle is represented as a mobile node to form MANET. Communication can take place between V2V, V2I, and I2V. Due to heavy traffic on roads, road accidents are increasing day by day. We aim to find a solution that targets on reduction of factors like redundancy, latency by refining message passing mechanism between vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) when an accident takes place. In this paper, the suggestive measures for reducing redundancy and latency are discussed.
