Abstract

Video and image communications can assist in highway traffic control, accident avoidance and management as well as road congestion control and coordination. This paper studies video streaming over wireless medium among a cluster of vehicles in an ad-hoc network. Through intense tradeoff study, we investigate the issues encountered in building a robust system that would allow automobiles to effectively transmit multimedia information in an ad-hoc network with constantly changing wireless environments. Based on our OPNET simulation results, we offer some design guidelines for transmitting streaming video over a vehicular adhoc network.
