Project Summary

Our project is VSAFE (Vehicular Safety System) which is based on VANETS. In VANETS, each vehicle act as a node. We are simulating the highway scenario on which the driver gets to know about the road conditions through the android application. The functionality of the system is in a way that there are sensors present in the environment that senses the environment and transmits data to Road Side Units(RSUs) and further that RSUs sends the data to the On Board Units(OBUs) present in the vehicles. OBUs further send that data to the android application through bluetooth. This simulation is done on NS3 simulator. It is totally based on Vehicle to Infrastructure Communication(V2I). The android application will get that data and generate alerts in order to notify the driver about the road conditions like road accident, traffic jam, weather conditions etc. The application is able to process the simulation trace files and based on the simulation data, it will give the results. The sensors that we are using are of humidity, temperature, sound and pressure.

Project Objectives

VSAFE based on VANETS includes vehicle-to infrastructure communication. Alerting drivers about
incoming emergencies can greatly improve their travel time in congested cities, while reducing the risk of accidents. Our system contributes to this goal by proposing VSAFE, an Android application capable of informing regular vehicles about incoming emergency situations like accidents, unusual humidity levels and
Road Congestion. This is made possible by creating a network of vehicles capable of directly communicating between them. Our system consists of an On Board Unit (OBU), an android app titled VSAFE, Road Side Units (RSUs) and a dedicated sensor network. The OBU is placed inside the vehicle. RSU is to be placed at the road intersections along with the sensors that upon sensing the aforementioned situations generate an alert via android app. NS3 network simulation environment has been used to simulate the road
side scenarios for the sake of accuracy and analysis.

Project Implementation Method

The main functionality and responsibilities of our system are as follows:
• We will present our system through the simulator since we are developing a simulation
environment.
• Our system consists of sensor that senses the environment and in case of any hurdle or
road accident in the environment, they generates the data and transmits it to the buffer
contained in the Road Side Unit (RSU) of infrastructure.
• The RSU forwards the data to the On Board Unit (OBU) of the vehicle.
• Through Bluetooth, OBU sends the data or alerts to the android application.
• Also, for communication of RSU to OBU of vehicles, we will be using the geocasting
mesh based protocols in order to produce a real time simulation environment that might
help us to predict uncertain real time scenarios and avoid unfavorable conditions.

We generate 5 highway scenarios in Ns3 simulator.
•First scenario consists of 10 vehicles.
•Second scenario will contain 20 vehicles.
•Third Scenario will contain 30 vehicles.
•Fourth will contain 40 vehicles.
• Fifth will contain 50 vehicles.

The RSUs and sensors are allocated randomly through the random position allocator function of NS3 simulator.
Further all the scenarios are able to send data or files to the android application.
Android application will be able to read those files and generate an alert in case if any incident
occurs.

Benefits of the Project

VSAFE is notifying the driver about the road conditions. This project can also be extended in future based on its functionality that there will be Vehicle to Vehicle communication. This will let the drivers to take timely decisions so that they can be protected from such road conditions like road accident, traffic jam, weather notification.
