Design and Implementation of an active safety system for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks(VANETs)
Аннотация
Vehicular communication, underpinned by IEEE 802.11p/WAVE-based Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), is instrumental in the seamless functioning of intra-vehicle exchanges. However, a comprehensive assessment of these systems reveals suboptimal efficiencies at the data layer, specifically regarding default broadcast intervals. Such inefficiencies lead to escalated packet collisions and subpar utilization of the delay time counter—factors that undermine the synergistic interplay between Active Safety Systems (ASS), such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and their passive safety counterparts. To address these intricacies, this research proposes an innovative mathematical framework tailored for the IEEE 802.11p MAC layer. We propose a model that elucidates the intricate dynamics of the delay time counter and offers refined broadcast intervals buttressed by robust algorithmic strategies. Empirical evaluations, conducted in meticulously simulated vehicular environments, validate the prowess of the proposed paradigm, highlighting a decline in packet collision instances. Quantitative findings from this research evince a notable decrease in packet collision rates and a commensurate enhancement in communication reliability, pivotal for advanced vehicular systems. Such technical augmentations directly elevate the operational reliability of cutting-edge safety mechanisms, exemplified by systems like the Toyota Pre-Crash Safety System.
