Real Time Video Communication in Intelligent Transport System

: The increase in public safety issue and road traffic volume over the years has led to a concern among researchers to create an effective, efficient and safe automotive environment. A VANET (Vehicular Adhoc Network) consisting of clusters of vehicles communicating with each other and also with roadside infrastructure can provide a solution to these issues. Although Advance Wireless technology considered as the standard for on-the-road communications, stakeholders have recently started to investigate the usability of this technology to support vehicular applications. This paper reports on the design of network simulation platform to test the performance of sending real-time video over VANET using the advance wireless technology. To provide a more realistic environment for streaming real-time video, a video model was created based on the study of video traffic traces captured from a realistic vehicular camera, and different design considerations were taken into account. A practical controller over real-time streaming protocol is implemented to control data traffic congestion for future road safety development. The goal of this project is to analyse real time video packet transmission over DSRC, WiMAX and LTE networks. A high level of QoS is required for multimedia, and will be evaluated in the analysis. Using this simulation platform, different mobility cases have been studied and the performance evaluated in terms of throughput, packet loss, end-to-end delay, and jitter. These statistics will be compared and analyse across DSRC, WiMAX and LTE technology.
