| Abstract | |
The development of new technologies and transportation modes is a crucial component for improving urban mobility. For instance, researchers have shown that vehicular networks are a promising technology to monitor and reduce traffic jams. Nevertheless, most of these solutions rely on costly external infrastructures, such as roadside units or cellular networks. In this work, we propose DisTraC, a protocol for vehicular ad hoc networks. DisTraC is a traffic congestion control protocol of low communication overhead that aims to reduce the average travel time of vehicles by using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. The protocol is independent of external infrastructures as uses only V2V communication. Simulation results show that DisTraC outperforms other solutions published in the literature both in terms of communication overhead and capability to reduce traffic congestion. (AU) | |
