VANET Based Projects

VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Network) based projects are an integral part of today’s intelligent transportation systems. These projects help researchers, PhD scholars, and students to understand, simulate, and develop vehicular communication models before real-time deployment at low cost.

Principle of VANET

VANET works on the basic principle of MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network). The architecture of VANET provides the foundation for building intelligent road traffic systems. In this setup, vehicles act as wireless sensor nodes that can communicate with each other and with roadside units. A vehicle remains part of the network as long as it is within communication range. When one vehicle moves out, another one joins seamlessly, ensuring continuous connectivity.

VANET Simulators

Each vehicle in a VANET is equipped with a radio-like device used for inter-vehicle communication. With the help of these simulators, researchers can study vehicle mobility, routing protocols, and data transmission efficiency under realistic conditions.

How VANET Implements Intelligent Transport Systems

In VANET, every vehicle acts as a receiver, sender, and router for message transmission. Communication between vehicles is supported by onboard radio devices, ensuring reliable delivery of messages with minimal delay. This approach improves road safety, traffic management, and network efficiency. We provide end-to-end support for students and scholars in simulating VANET projects across various platforms.

VANET Classification

VANET can be classified based on its simulation approach into:

Microscopic Simulation – Focuses on the behavior of individual vehicles, considering parameters like speed, velocity, and position.
Macroscopic Simulation – Analyzes traffic flow on a larger, system-wide level to study congestion, routing, and scalability.

VANET based projects often simulate network protocols using traffic simulators. Popular tools include SUMO, NS2, NS3, and OMNeT++. We provide expert guidance to simulate VANET projects in these simulators with proper coding and research support.

Example for VANET Based Projects

A classic example is the Traffic Signal Violation Warning System. In this project, drivers receive alerts when approaching traffic signals or intersections, reducing risks of accidents and improving road safety. Such VANET applications highlight the importance of real-time communication between vehicles.

We guide PhD scholars and students in simulating VANET based projects and provide complete research support, from problem formulation, coding implementation, analysis, and paper writing to publication.
