Optimal Roadside Gateway Deployment for VANETs

VANETs allowing the mobile vehicles exchange data with the roadside gateways are being used in various applications such as local electronic advertisement, intelligent transportation system and urban data collection. In this paper, we study the problem of deploying the gateways to provide the desired communication performance while minimizing the deployment cost. The key idea of our solution is...

Improving Roadside Unit Deployment in Vehicular Networks by Exploiting Genetic Algorithms

Vehicular networks make use of the Roadside Units (RSUs) to enhance the communication capabilities of the vehicles in order to forward control messages and/or to provide Internet access to vehicles, drivers and passengers. Unfortunately, within vehicular networks, the wireless signal propagation is mostly affected by buildings and other obstacles (e.g., urban fixtures), in particular when consi...

The effects of roadside structures on the transport and dispersion of ultrafine particles from highways

Understanding local-scale transport and dispersion of pollutants emitted from traffic sources is important for urban planning and air quality assessments. Predicting pollutant concentration patterns in complex environments depends on accurate representations of local features (e.g., noise barriers, trees, buildings) affecting near-field air flows. This study examined the effects of roadside bar...
