This paper focuses on the wireless communication aspect of the traffic control problem in urban areas. The IEEE 802.11b standard is used and an architecture is developed that produces zero packet loss at vehicle speeds of up to 60 Km/hr. A quantitative comparison is made between the Mobile Internet Protocol v4 (MIPv4) and MIPv6. It is shown that MIPv6 produces much less packet losses than MIPv4. Burst communication is then used to eliminate packet losses completely and the interpacket and inter-burst intervals are determined. Finally, the effects of the Router Advertisement Interval (RAI) and the Mobility Detection Factor (MDF) are investigated and the optimum parameter values are determined in the context of the traffic control problem.
