Design and implementation of a VANET testbed: Performance evaluation considering dtn transmission over VANETs

Abstract

In recent years, automatic driving technology and inter-vehicle communication have attracted attention because they can be applicable not only to transportation systems but also to intelligent communication systems. Delay/Disruption/Disconnection Tolerant Networking (DTN) and Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are used to provide the network services as alternative network. In this work, we develop a DTN testbed for VANETs. The communication components are implemented in Raspberry Pi. We evaluate the performance of our testbed in outdoor environment within the campus. From the experimental results, we found that our implemented testbed has good performance.
