SafeSmart: A VANET System for Faster Responses and Increased Safety in Time-Critical Scenarios

An important use case for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) is its application in the warning systems of emergency vehicles (EV). VANET-based vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication can be used to exchange data and information between traffic lights EVs, by means transceivers at both ends. This helps reducing risks accidents also saves valuable time through an optimized orchestration lights. paper outlines system design EV that makes V2I communication. The has been extensively studied state-of-the-art simulators, such as SUMO OMNeT++, a huge variety scenarios, where metrics safety have collected. results show SafeSmart highly effective trip times well increasing overall EVs scenarios.
