Abstract :
In recent years, with the advances in short range communication technology, vehicles are able to communicate with each other (Vehicle-to-Vehicle, V2V) and with the Roadside (Vehicle-to-Roadside, V2R) through dedicated short range communications (DSRC) and are referred to as connected vehicles. In V2R scenario, we design and implement a Traffic Signal Control System (TSCS) for use in real-life IEEE 802.11p/1609 On-Board Units (OBUs). As this TSCS can reduce bus travel time and number of stops by employing a traffic signal priority algorithm, a reduction in bus travel times can be achieved by proper use of traffic lights.
