p2pTraf: An Open library implementing p2p vehicular network for preliminary real-field experiments

The ubiquity of connected vehicles and sources is inevitable and will take the next several years. To be ready for the future of transportation, some handy tools for real-life researches have to be developed. Real-life researches save both the time and efforts of the researches. This paper presents a library implementation leveraging the smartphone devices to construct a p2p network, which is then leveraged to give several API interfaces extracting the vehicle travel parameters that would eventually help the researchers carry out real-field experimentation research. This paper covers the primary objective to create the network, followed by the solution’s system designs and related analysis and results.
