Abstract:

Vehicles have increased dramatically in number globally over the past few decades. As a result, rather than concentrating on enhancing road quality, producers, researchers, and the government are now concentrating on enhancing road safety. Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs), which enable communication between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure, are one new type of network that has emerged due to the rapid advancement in wireless technologies. In recent years, many novel ideas have been developed, including smart cities and living labs, where Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) play a significant role. Introducing a new plan that uses an innovative city framework to convey data about traffic conditions to drivers, assisting them in making informed judgments. Our suggested plan includes a warning message module made up of Intelligent Traffic Lights (ITLs), which informs drivers about current traffic conditions by developing a VANET composed of Configure and create a 3D simulation that will capture and represent all vehicle units and roadside units and simulate various safety scenarios as this model will offer a great potential to reduce the incidence of accidents on our roads.

Keywords:
