C-VeT, the UCLA Vehicular Testbed: An Open Platform for Vehicular Networking and Urban Sensing

| Abstract |
|
|
In the last few years Wireless Vehicular networks
have been in the limelight for their potential in many human
applications such Road Safety, Info-Mobility, Infotainment, Environmental
Monitoring, etc. The research community responded
to the new emerging needs designing a number of applications,
algorithms, and protocols to cope with the vehicular environment.
Differently from tactical ad hoc networks, vehicular networks
present several new challenges including: high-speed mobility
of the nodes, (resulting in a relatively short contact time),
constrained mobility models, harsh propagation environment,
high radio interference, and frequent network disruption in
urban sparse traffic. Hence, a totally new network paradigm
is needed.
In this position paper we argue Vehicular Testbeds as the ideal
playground to study the behavior of a new class of vehicular
applications and protocols in an highly realistic environment;
yet maintaining control on the experimental scenarios and the
ability to perform large scale experiments through the integration
of testbeds and simulation tools.
