Methodology for Development of Logistics Information and Safety System Using Vehicular Adhoc Networks

Abstract

The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) addresses issues regarding traffic management and road safety in the domain of Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs). With the evaluation of new applications, new goals regarding efficiency and security have been added for logistics and general user application, which demand time-bounded and reliable services. In this paper, we evaluate VANET with regard to its suitability in logistics scenarios. We simulated VANET by considering different application scenarios for logistics and transportation using varying parameters such as speed, number of nodes, traffic load and bit error rate etc. We observed that it performs well in most of the scenarios due to its highly suitability in vehicular environment.
