Evaluación y diseño de un sistema de transporte urbano, mediante software de simulación de redes vehiculares VANET.

Abstract

This research is focused on reducing the of public urban transport buses travel time through vehicular ad-hoc networks (vehicular Ad-hoc network, VANET), in which the simulation parameters have been represented of the field research data to represent them in a simulated environment using VANET. The main problems of the urban buses travel time in the city of Riobamba are; the stoppage time and the traffic jam that occurs due to different factors such as: high traffic flow, badly parked vehicles. The results of the research show an idea of how the parameters of speed, congestion, stop time, stopping distance in the final travel time of the transportation system routes have a direct impact, this research provides technological solutions, since when using of simulators of vehicular networks, we can create scenarios attached to reality and determine which parameters are the most influential when designing a routes system. A buses central must be created to control the entire urban transport system of the Riobamba city, through VANET networks, since, trough studies which were carried out, this technology can be applied in the city.
