SBLS: Speed Based Lane Changing System in VANETs

In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) the network services and applications (e.g., safety messages) will require an exchange of vehicle and event location information. Effective lane changing and routing in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks is a challenging task. This paper aims to propose a solution to ensure the safety of drivers while changing lanes on the highways. Efficient and faster routing protocols could play a crucial role in the applications of VANET, safeguarding both the drivers and the passengers and thus maintaining a safe on-road environment. In this paper we propose SBLS: Speed Based Lane Changing System in VANETs, for effective lane changing in the dynamic mobility model. In our approach we present the lane changing based system on speed and minimum gap between the vehicles in VANET. The test bed is created on the techniques used in the proposed system where the analysis takes place in the On Board Embedded System designed for Vehicle Navigation. The designed system was tested on a 4-lane road at Neemrana in India. Successful simulations have been conducted along with real time network parameters to maximize the QoS (quality of service) and performance using SUMO and NS-2.
