Efficient Dissemination of Safety Messages in Vehicle Ad Hoc Network Environments

Abstract

The number of people owning vehicles has been steadily growing, resulting in increased numbers of vehicles on the roads, making roads more congested, and increasing the risk of accidents. In addition, heavy rain, snow, and fog have increased due to abnormal weather caused by global warming. These bad weather conditions can also affect the safety of vehicles and drivers. The need to disseminate safety messages on the social Internet of Vehicles due to these problems has been steadily increasing. In this paper, we propose an efficient safety message dissemination scheme that focuses on urban environments with high vehicle density and mobility to address these problems. The proposed scheme reduces packet loss by considering frequent cluster departures and subscriptions through an efficient cluster management technique. In a vehicle-to-vehicle environment, the dissemination of safety messages is divided into intracluster and intercluster emergencies, as well as a general safety message dissemination technique. In a vehicle-to-infrastructure environment, the proposed scheme reduces the number of processing requests and duplicate messages made to roadside units (RSUs) through a request operation process for each vehicle and an RSU scheduling technique. We conducted several performance evaluations of message packet loss and the number of RSU processing requests to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme.

Effectiveness of Vehicular Communication Using NP-CSMA with Bernoulli-Based Gaussian Interpolation Function

“…To achieve this knowledge, each vehicle sends a basic safety message (BSM) many time per minute to enable other vehicles and to determine its position and motion parameters [7]- [11]. This is accomplished using media access control protocols (MAC) within the vehicular ad hoc network structure (VANET) for temporary networks formed by vehicles within a certain range [12]- [14] The process is based on random access concept, with avoidance of coordination with base stations or a roadside infrastructure, using a decentralized approach.…”
