Camera-based surveillance is an important technology to monitor people, assets and places, for the applications of increasing physical security. Access to information services whilst on the move is becoming increasingly prevalent within transport systems. This paper examines motorway vehicles equipped with wireless communication nodes to obtain images from the cameras distributed along a motorway. Exchanging the data (images) still remains a challenge to provide access aboard vehicles, particularly when travelling on high-speed motorways. This paper performed an analysis to examine the performance of a motorway surveillance systems based on Ad Hoc networks (WAHCN). The paper focus on studying the effect of the number of hops between sender (camera) and receiver (vehicle), packets rate, and packet size on the performance and behavior of the motorway surveillance systems which used (WAHCN) to demonstrate a clear view of the suitable values for these parameters to get high performance and good image quality in these type of systems.
