Performance Evaluation of Dissemination Protocols Over Vehicular Networks for an Automatic Speed Fine System

Abstract

Vehicular accidents cause severe problems in our society including economic, material, and even life losses. The cause of those situations relies on several factors such as traffic density, vehicular flow, lack of traffic signaling and speed limit violations. Some of these problems cannot completely be eliminated but could be mitigated by proposing solutions such as people’s awareness or intelligent radars to monitor speed limit violations. This work proposes a system to automatically generate fines in case of speed limit infractions. Our approach uses vehicular networks to monitor the vehicles’ speed. We also propose a dissemination protocol to ensure the propagation and delivery of the generated fines at the road-side units, achieving a 94.99% and 99.91% fine delivery rate in urban scenarios with vehicles’ densities of 30 and 200 vehicles per km2, respectively.
