A Simulation Study of Data Collection Based on Vehicle Infrastructure Cooperation

Recently, Intelligent Vehicle Infrastructure Cooperation System (IVICS) was proposed and became a focused area of frontier research. Different from traditional intelligent transportation system (ITS) technology, IVICS enables a safer, smarter and greener traffic environment since full-scale data of traffic network can be easily obtained through vehicle-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-infrastructure (V2I) communications. In this paper, the authors first investigate the main characteristics of IVICS and then study data collection based on vehicle infrastructure cooperation, which plays an extremely important role in various kinds of traffic applications. A secondary development using Visual C#.NET is applied to current commercial traffic simulator VISSIM 4.30 through its COM interface. Virtual Road-Side Units (RSUs) and On-Board Equipments (OBEs) which realize V2V and V2I Communications are embedded in the simulator. Finally, a prototype system is developed to demonstrate the practicality.
