An Urban Mobility Overlay for Evaluating Cellular Driven Vehicle Teleoperation

Abstract: Cellular Driven Vehicle Teleoperation is far too expensive to deploy and implementin real life. Most research community use simulation as a solution. Nowadays most evaluations are based on one simulator either for traffic or network. In order to guarantee the safety and accuracy for operating a vehicle at distance, in this project,we first did a state-of-art study of simulators and developed traffic and network scenarios using microscopic traffic simulator SUMO (Simulator of Urban MObility) and accurate network simulator NS3 (Network Simulator 3) then integrated them together. To have the accurate result the scope of the traffic mobility model need tobe realistic and fulfill several requirements and we have accomplished all the general requirements needed such as map size, mobility obstacles (traffic congestion, cardensity, road regulation) and realism. The process of the work is presented in this report. We evaluate the integrated scenario from aspects of feasibility, capacity and performance and the result shows that it's feasible to use LTE network to teleoperateup to 5 vehicles with granted Quality of Service requirements in area of Kista. A drawback of this project is the simulation is off-line. Furthermore, to simulate the behavior of on-line simulation we include traffic congestion avoidance and we run the simulation multiple times in small time scale.
