Abstract: |
Cars have become essential
elements of modern life. But nowadays the increasing number of cars also
leads to problems: pollution, traffic jams, wasted
time spent in traffic because of traffic
bottlenecks, etc.. Traffic
cannot cope anymore with the rate of car usage today. Fortunately, in the
last years various Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) demonstrate
innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management, and enable various users to be better
informed and make safer, more coordinated, and ’smarter’ use of transport
networks. For such systems, a lot of attention has been dedicated to develop
realistic models of roads and of the vehicle mobility, by exploiting the
extensive literature developed in the field of
transportation systems, e.g., models of how cars move along a road. Here, we
present the realization of a more-realistic simulation tool, Sim2 Car. The
simulator uses as input data real-life traces collected over long periods of
time, involving potentially thousands of drivers, to provide a realistic
support mobility model for high-level methods and techniques designed to
optimize traffic. On top, developers can simulate
advanced traffic networking solutions and
intelligent transportation applications, under real-world conditions. We
present our results for an application designed to optimize the costs
involved in using navigators, that actively incorporate solutions borrowed
from opportunistic computing and context data to optimize the user‘s
experience. |
