Co-operative Intelligent transport systems using LTE based V2X in Support of Vehicle Priority System

Abstract

In this thesis we propose a smart traffic control system that can take into account the needs of special vehicles such as police cars, ambulances and fire trucks responding to an emergency, freight, etc. The system needs to take into account the time and energy saved by giving priority to certain vehicles. This will be done through LTE based V2X with the help of a central control station and RSUs (Road Side Unit). A simulation of the proposed idea was done using Eclipse SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility). A rough estimate of energy saved due to the proposed change was also added.
