The Simulation Platform in City Traffic Environment Based on TinyOS for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract:

Currently, the algorithms for wireless sensor networks which are applied in the field of intelligent transportation use NS2, Matlab software to simulate. The theoretical research results remain a certain distance from their applications in practical system. In order to solve the problem, the simulation platform in city traffic environment based on TinyOS for wireless sensor networks is researched. The structural framework of simulation platform in city traffic environment which is composed of vehicle nodes, relay nodes and sink nodes is proposed. Four design steps of application program and five simulation steps which are composed of simulation compile, network configuration, python simulation, data statistics and simulation result analysis are proposed. CTP protocol and three different movement scenes are used to test and verify the platform. Experimental results show that the algorithm performances with different parameters are obtained, and the simulation platform can verify the algorithms of wireless sensor networks in city traffic environment. The simulation platform combines theory simulation and practical application. It provides a simulation platform for the research on intelligent traffic algorithms, and shortens the algorithm development time.
