Abstract :
The advent of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) is considered an important step in achieving the safety and efficiency of the intelligent transportation system. Vehicles generally spread information in two ways: 1. Event-based messages and 2. Traffic management messages. Traffic management messages are called Hello or Beacon, which are periodically broadcast in the network. Beacon messages include the position, speed, and direction of the vehicle. On the other hand, event-based messages are broadcast in emergencies such as accidents or road collapses. Given the importance of some data in the field of health, congestion should be avoided and secure data transmission should be ensured. In this paper, a Dynamic Congestion Control scheme for safety applications in Vehicular ad hoc networks (DCCV) has been proposed which sends beacon messages based on the congestion of vehicles to reduce overload and increase delivery rate. In addition, another mechanism has been used to prioritize messages through static and dynamic factors. This method is sending high-priority messages without any delay in the network and scheduling lower-priority messages for transmission. This method empties the channel for warning messages. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method works better than other methods and leads to better performance in delay, network performance, and delivery rate.
