Vehicular Assistance Communication System for Road Blockage Using Multi-hop V2X Architecture in Hilly Terrain
摘要
Vehicular travel in mountainous terrains is frequently interrupted by landslides, rock falls, and other obstructions, posing significant challenges due to limited visibility and lack of communication infrastructure. This paper presents a vehicular assistance communication system employing a multi-hop Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) approach. The proposed system enables vehicles to relay information through a network of neighboring vehicles and Road Side Units (RSUs) to communicate data on road blockages effectively. Simulations were conducted using Veins, OMNeT++ , and SUMO to assess communication range, throughput, coverage, and delay, demonstrating improved communication and alert effectiveness. The results demonstrate that the V2V+ RSU communication technique significantly outperforms both V2V multi-hop and classical techniques in terms of average packet delay, message delivery, throughput, and coverage range, making it the most efficient method for high-density vehicular networks.
