Simulation of and study on wireless sensor networks for vehicle supervision
lower energy consumption and lessen environmental pollution
it is helpful to build an Intelligent Transportation System(ITS) based on a Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) and the ZigBee protocol.The wireless network is constructed by deploying sensor nodes
which collect such physical parameters and environmental information such as vehicle speed
traffic flow
ambient temperature
road noise and vibration so as to achieve the aim of vehicle supervision.This system is simulated by using OPNET Modeler and the network simulation results in different topologies
traffic flows and node failures are discussed and the network performances evaluated
providing a reliable and quantitative basis and reference for the network planning and system construction.
