Abstract

Vehicular area network provides vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and vehicle-to-person communications. Its aim is to increase the road safety and transport facility efficiency. It also provides a ubiquitous wireless environment for the end users. The vehicle area network is considered as one of the major applications for wireless networks. Here, each vehicle has a unique identifier and eavesdropper to accumulate the locations of vehicles. If the vehicle changes its pseudonym from time to time, then the long-term tracking is to be avoided. The proposed model automatically monitors the flow of vehicles and sends the data to the control room via gateway nodes. It uses number of sensors to reduce the traffic at important junctions while forwarding the vehicle from one place to another.
