Design and Simulation of an Intelligent Traffic Management System Using Vehicular Networks

In this study , the reasearch is focused on the simulation of vehicular communication networks, especially intelligent traffic systems, to enhance dependability, safety, and optimality in communication. The simulation is performed using the OMNeT++ simulator and is integrated with the Veins framework that uses the IEEE 802.11p protocol for V2V and V2I communications. Importing real-world traffic scenarios into the framework is obtained via the use of SUMO through TraCIScenarioManager. Other features of the framework include the definition of mobility models, dynamic obstacles, and detailed radio propagation modeling. TraCIDemo11p is used for mobility and communication by both RSUs and vehicles with applications in beaconing and channel switching. The whole framework analyzes smart traffic management solutions, providing as much insight into their performance based upon the communication reliability and overall efficiency in vehicular networks.
