Research Areas in Vehicular Area Networks (VANETs)

Research Areas in Vehicular Area Networks (VANETs)

1. Dedicated Short Range Communications
2. Network sensing for collision avoidance systems
3. Mobile network between Vehicles similar to the one used by police,fire and military vehicles for co-ordination
4. Location tracker for emergency services and other such coordination technologies.
5. coordinated traffic guidance system by which vehicles can coordinate and guide themselves through an alternative route or an immobile jam.
6. Anti-collision system.

SUMO installation in linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint)

SUMO-Simulation of Urban Mobility

• SUMO an open source, portal, microscopic, multi-modal road traffic simulation.
• It allows for intermodal simulation including pedestrians and comes with a large set of tools for scenario creation. 
• It allows to simulate as to how a given traffic demand which consists of single vehicles moves through a given road network.
• The simulator allows to address a large set of traffic management topics.
• It is purely microscopic: each vehicle is modeled explicitly, has an own route, and moves individually through the network.

SUMO Installation Procedure:

Installation in Linux and mac OS

Step I: Install two pre-requisite packages to build SUMO with GUI. Go to terminal and run:

$ sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev proj libxerces-c2-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libfox-1.6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

Step II: If you are using Unbuntu 12.04 or older versions, as it doesn't ship with libgdal package, create a symbolic link:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgdal1.7.0.so /usr/lib/libgdal

Note: Ubuntu 14.04 doesnt require this step. It comes inbuilt with libgdal package.

Step 1: Download the SUMO source by clicking here. At the time of this writing, it was version sumo-src-0.26.0.tar.gz.

Step 2: In terminal, go to the directory where the sumo-src-0.26.0.tar.gz is downloaded, and extract it.

$ tar -xzvf sumo-src-0.26.0.tar.gz

Step 3: Move the decompressed directory to '/usr/local/src' location:

$ sudo mv -v sumo-0.26.0 /usr/local/src

Step 4: Become a sudo user for making the configuration. Skip this step if you have the previlages.

$ sudo su -

Step 5: Go to the /usr/local/src location and call configure, make and make install:

$ cd /usr/local/src/sumo-0.26.0

$ ./configure --with-fox-includes=/usr/include/fox-1.6 \
--with-gdal-includes=/usr/include/gdal --with-proj-libraries=/usr \
--with-gdal-libraries=/usr --with-proj-gdal

Step 6: Then, run 'make'

$ make
$ sudo make install

Step 7: Finally, to open SUMO, go to terminal and run:

$ sumo-gui
