High Speed Data Routing in Vehicular Sensor Networks

In this paper, we show through a simple secure symmetric key based protocol design and experiments the feasibility of secure data collection in a vehicular sensor networks. This protocol exhibits high speed data routing for sensor data collection through vehicles. The large communictaion and storage capacities of a vehicle and its mobility facilitates this high speed routing scheme compared with routing through hop-by-hop communication among sensors. We demonstrate that the protocol works in a realistic setting by collecting the real trace data through real implementation.
