Implementation of data from the mobile measurement platform to VANet application

What is it about?

The paper deals with the idea of informing the car drivers on the problem of road degradation via sending warning messages from roadside units. The initial part of the paper summarized the up–to–now realized the concept of the mobile measurement platform (MMS) and its mathematical principles showing how detailed data on road surface may be obtained. The main part of the paper is aimed at the design of the integration of data from MMS into the VANET application. Practical realization is based on the warning message generation with GPS coordinates which is assured by digital signature ECDSA cryptography algorithm via OpenSSL tool.

Why is it important?

One of the tasks potentially covered by the presented concept of the MMP is the detection of road surface deformations. Data on these findings may be further used to calculate and send warning messages to passing vehicles, signed by digital signature within the VANETs. Furthermore, the realized software applications of detecting potholes can be amended to the detection of transverse and longitudinal tracks. Choosing a digital signature scheme with a focus on elliptic curve algorithm ECDSA has been chosen on the basis of comparison of the effectiveness signing scheme e.g. referred to [9] due to the described applications were except security performance of the used digital the signature scheme is also an important parameter.
