Environmental monitoring under uncertainty using smart vehicular ad hoc network

Abstract

Due to the development of technology and increased human activities for sustained life, different environmental parameters are changing day by day. These environmental parameters are temperature, humidity, amount of Carbon monoxide, methane, smoke etc. Due to different technological and industrial activities, the values of all these parameters are increasing day by day. Increase in these parameters has an adverse effect on human beings. So environmental monitoring is essential at regular interval of time. Nowadays VANET is the emerging technology which provides both safety as well as non-safety applications. Networking through vehicles is called VANET. In this paper, by using different sensors and VANET different environmental parameters are monitored using fuzzy transformation function regularly. Based on the monitoring the values we can classify a particular region as low zone region, medium zone region, high or critical zone region.
