INTRADE (INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION FOR DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT) PROJECT. FINAL WORKSHOP 4 & 5 DECEMBER 2014 Avoidance collision using V2V Communication in container terminal area Nacera Bahnes, Bouabdellah Kechar, Hafid Haffaf Department of Computer Science, Oran University Research Laboratory in Industrial Computing and Networks (RIIR), PO. Box 1524 El M’Naouar, ORAN, ALGERIA bahnes_nacera@yahoo.fr Abstract We propose cooperation mechanism based on connected autonomous vehicle in seaport container terminal. Using inter-Vehicles communication system, autonomous vehicles can communicate and cooperate to avoid deadlock and collision problem in the intersections points. In order to evaluate the collision detection and management mechanism in the junctions, we develop simulation environment based on Veins simulation framework. Keywords - Container terminal, cooperation, avoidance collision, inter-vehicle communication, DSRC, ITS. 1. Introduction Different communication protocols were proposed as standard for ITS. The new emerging applications for enhancing traffic safety found within the VANET which can be classified as real-time system. Existing V2V safety systems together with new cooperative systems using wireless data communication between vehicles can potentially decrease the number of collisions and accidents. Recently, WAVE standards on the dedicated short range communications (DSRC) [1] meets the requirement for road safety messaging and control. 3. SIMULATION AND RESULTS In our simulations, We assume that the horizontal routes have more priority then the vertical ones. We affect for each vehicle node a predefined trajectory as . summarized in table 1. Table 1. Defined trajectories in the layout for 10 vehicles Trajectory 1 2. INTER-VEHICLE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Three major communication elements form the communication system in an ITS dedicated to a Port Container Terminal Management: autonomous vehicle (V), containers and confined base stations (CBS). In [2], four types of communications are defined using heterogeneous communication technologies. V2V communication enables the cooperation among autonomously driving vehicles. Each vehicle has a radio communication device. It will be able to share their information state (current position, speed, etc) with neighbors based on the distributed short messages. In the WAVE system, vehicles periodically broadcast beacon messages which are used for cooperative awareness applications. In most cases, the interval of beaconing is expected to be in the range of 100 ms to 1s. a)COLLISION PROBLEM The problem of detection and avoidance collisions is one of the 1st things that should be addressed in controlling and designing ITS. In general, this type of problem can be solved relatively by communication protocol. A conventional intersection collision detection system based on V2I communication has performance limitations owing to the real-time limitations and the cost of installing the infrastructure. Kim & al propose in[3] cooperative intersection collision detection system using V2V communication which will solve the inaccuracy of the conventional system based on V2I communication. Fig. 1.

Number of detected collisions b) COOPERATION AVOIDANCE COLLISION We propose a cooperation protocol based on exchange the following messages: 1. “HELLO_Msg”: • Each vehicle periodically advertises its presence along with its position and operational state to other vehicles in its surrounding. • Vehicles receiving “hello messages” can update their neighbor table. 2. “Coop_Msg”: • If vehicle moving in the vertical line will be near to the junction, it communicate with their neighbors in the horizontal lane to determine the priority. • It models cooperation between concurrent vehicles and serves to verify the charge of the horizontal lane. 3. “ACK_Msg”: . • Vehicle approaching to the junction will be confirmed the reception of the “Coop_Msg” by sending an “ACK_Msg”. • All the receivers of “ACK_Msg” in the vertical lane are being informed to decelerate, which can pass in order to avoid intersection blocking, Fig 3.
