Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are systems in which vehicles communicate with each other and with roadside base stations. The main aim of these systems is to produce safer and more efficient roads by providing timely information to drivers. This information may be to warn of imminent collisions or of traffic hazards beyond the driver's field of vision. There are several proposed protocols including Digital Short Range Communication (DSRC) and IEEE 802.11p which are low level communication protocols. However higher level application protocols are required. To assist in the research of these new protocols and vehicle applications simulation and modelling tools need to be developed. Hypothesis/Aims: There are several Vehicle to Vehicle network simulators available. But none of the systems simulate Australian roads and conditions. The aim of this project is to produce a simulator that can be used to emulate Australian road maps and to allow application level protocols to be studied. Approaches: Our approach will be to add a module to a suitable existing simulator that will allow the simulation of application level protocols over DSRC and IEEE 802.11p
