An integrated mobility system using real

time data
for traffic simulation
VANET (Vehicular ad hoc Network)

1. Trajectory-based movements with prediction locations and time-

varying topology,
2. Variation in the number of vehicles and correlated speeds,
3. Fast time-varying channel,
4. Reduced power consumption requirements.
The tools are able to simulate the reality without interference
with the real world and helps in evaluating possible solution in
the most economic and rapid way
Traffic Simulation
Urban traffic simulation is very complex considering several
variable must be taken into an account in determining the best
solution
There is high uncertainty related to the variable, dynamic and
unpredictable context
VANET simulator software can be divided into three categories:
1. Vehicular mobility generators,
2. Network simulators, and
3. VANET simulators
Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO)

Portability: simulation has to run on any common

environment, since many research organizations use
Linux or Solaris as operating system.
Extensibility: simulation has to be open and easy to
understand, so that it can be quickly adapted according
users needs.
1. real time data acquisition layer:
Different sources are mentioned
Which helps in generating data. It is
Called.

2. Data Abstraction Layer:

Where raw data are further
elaborated for Simulation purposes.

3. Simulation and Application Layer:

Real time traffic data is visaulized
Simulation outputs

1. Data acquisition devices

3. Video processing unit to detect vehicles and

individuates turn

2. Visualization on map
Results and discussion

Hourly capacity vehicles entering the city centre

of Montemarciano in a typical working day
Cloud services implementing Data abstraction layer can be queried to
retrieve raw-data acquired by sensors or to extract traffic data for a
particular analysis
Case Study
