Software defined network-based controller system in intelligent transportation system

Abstrak

Intelligent transportation system (ITS) is meant for redefining the conventional transport by incorporating various analytical features that not only offers safety but also enriches traffic data quality extensively. Review of existing literature shows that there is a significant gap towards utilizing vehicular adhoc network (VANET) for optimal performance in ITS environment. Therefore, this paper contributes towards a simplified and yet intelligent controller system harnessing potential of software defined network (SDN) towards effective directional management of complex transportation system. The novelty of this model is dual-fold. The first novelty is about the usage of locally and globally processed traffic information for undertaking decision towards clearing the waiting vehicles in observation point in specific route segment. The second novelty is associated with relaying of distinct traffic clearance signal to the distinct vehicles unlike any of teh existing transportation management scheme.
