Vehicle to Vehicle and Roadside Sensor Communication for Intelligent Navigation

Hybrid sensor network technology is a key component of future ITS applications. In this paper, we propose a hybrid architecture that combined VANETs and roadside WSNs for intelligent navigation. Different from traditional ITS application, Sensors in WSNs and VANETs are used to perceive and exchange roadside and vehicular information to support the intelligent navigating decision process. We firstly give the system and protocol architecture, and then we discuss the scenarios and use cases of our system in intelligent navigation. After that, we describe the software and hardware implementation of our prototype, conduct a simulation on the discussed scenarios, and present a detailed data communication experimental result to prove the feasibility of our prototype
