Vanet Fleet Management

Abstract

The project aims to assist long convoy / Fleet holders, such as Defense organizations, Bus Systems and Logistics Transport holders who do not have any on-road / centralized road management system. An application is developed which would assist for location update and internal messaging on dynamic maps. The application shall run on a processor small enough to be installed in a car. It shall use the car’s battery for power and be connected to a touch screen graphicLCD on which a friendly GUI shall be displayed for the driver. An application is designed for a three car environment, but one which is scalable enough to be extended for a number of cars as ever desired. The moving vehicles can send and receive messages to each other via text or by call. They may send private messages to a single car in their vicinity or broadcast the message to a certain number of cars. Most importantly, every vehicle would be able to view a local dynamic map, displaying it’s own location and the locations of neighboring vehicles with respect to it’s own. Through the map, the driver can not only be aware of the traffic conditions in his vicinity but also determine the best routes.The processor that has to be fitted in the car may vary with the demand and requirements of every company. Currently, the application was tested on Intel ATOM processor.
