Adaptive Array Antenna Control Methods with Delay Tolerant Networking for the Winter Road Surveillance System
It is considered that the road condition in the winter is one of the significant issues for the safety driving by tourists or residents. However, there are many difficulties of the V2V networks such as the transmission range of wireless networks and the noises from the automobile’s bodies. Thus, this paper introduces the Adaptive Array Antenna (AAA) controls for the Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) networks based Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) in the road surveillance system. In the proposed system, the vehicles equip the AAA control systems with the IEEE802.11a/b/g based DTN, and the wireless directions are controlled by the visual recognitions with Kalman filter algorithm to make the longer and stable wireless connections for the efficiency of the DTN. The porotype system is introduced in this paper, and the results are discussed for the future studies.
