Evaluating vehicle network strategies for downtown Portland
Gustavo Marfia, Giovanni Pau, Enzo De Sena, Eugenio Giordano, Mário Gerla · 2007
In an urban environment, vehicles can opportunistically exploit infrastructure through open Access Points (APs) to efficiently communicate with other vehicles. This is to avoid long wireless ad hoc paths, and to alleviate congestion in the wireless grid. Analytic and simulation models are used to optimize the communications and networking strategies. For realistic results, one important challenge is the accurate representation of traffic mobility patterns.
