- ItemEvaluation of VANET standards and protocols for distributed licence plate detection and reporting(2019-12) Truter, Jacobus Christoffel; Engelbrecht, H. A.; Barnard, Arno; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Engineering. Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Implementation and evaluation of existing VANET standards and protocols for suitability of distributed licence plate detection and reporting in an urban scenario was the problem this project set out to investigate. Simulation was used to approach the problem since large scale deployment of commercially available VANET hardware was not feasible. A simulation environment providing realistic wireless networking and vehicular tra c patterns with which to evaluate VANET standards and protocols was successfully realised. An open source, Linux-based hardware solution (VANET OBU fully implementing IEEE 802.11p and AODV was created. Core aspects of the network simulation environment was successfully veri ed and calibrated by means of experimentation with the hardware solution. A distributed licence plate detection application was implemented in the veri ed and calibrated simulation environment, and analysis of large scale simulations resulted in the conclusion that IEEE 802.11p and AODV is suitable for distributed license plate detection and reporting as per its implementation in this project.
