Real Time Video Streaming in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks

A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is a class of a Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET). VANETs help in the implementation of various driving safety applications. Vehicle to Vehicle Communication is wireless transmission of data that provides services for important safety improvements. The adoption of video transmission in VANETs communication has become essential due to the comprehensiveness and applicability of video data for on-road advertisement and infotainment. Video communication in VANETs helps in capturing and monitoring the environment, surveillance, traffic accidents and disaster based smart city applications. In this paper, we propose a real-time system where two vehicles communicate via video streaming. It can be used in an isolated place without the internet. We further propose a system where the first vehicle which detects an accident sends a video stream of the accident scene to the second vehicle so that the second vehicle can take an alternate path to reduce the traffic at the place of accident.
