摘要

The evolution of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) enabled the emergence of traffic management applications, with the aim to enhance the traffic flow and ease the congestion by monitoring the traffic. However, the efficiency of these applications resides on the accuracy of the shared traffic information. Accordingly, trust management models are applied to secure the Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork (VANET) and to assess the reliability of the data shared within the vehicular network. In this paper, we propose a proof-of-concept of the trust framework proposed in [2]. The main objective is to observe the utility of applying trust management models to the intelligent transportation systems. The simulation results show that deploying trust-based Smart Road Signs (SRSs) helps to alleviate the traffic congestion around junctions by displaying the traffic state to users and offering them the opportunity to take alternative roads.
