SSNM-Smart Sensor Network Model for vehicular ad hoc networks

Vehicular ad hoc network is an emerging tremendous technology that facilitates ubiquitous wireless communication between vehicles and possibly with road side infrastructure to providing safety, driver assistance and comfort. Real-time vehicular information gathering is a significant and crucial part in vehicular communication about vehicle position and velocity, etc. For broadcasting and gathering real time vehicles information, usually base stations are used for communication with vehicles and backbone infrastructure. This vehicular- to-infrastructure architecture installed with different types of power cables and other heterogeneous devices, this type of solution elevate the installation and maintenance cost. Wireless sensor network is considering low cost technology to bridge the gap between physical and digital world. These wireless sensors are deployed without cables restriction in vehicular network to overcome the traditional system issues. In this paper, we propose a sensor based model for reliable and efficient communication in vehicular ad hoc networks. The complete process of data transmission and aggregation are designed and prototyped.
