Abstract

Adverse situations that occur on public traffic roads, such as traffic accidents, severe traffic jams, among others, are considered critical traffic events. Such events occur relatively frequently and need to be dealt with quickly by public authorities to maintain the proper functioning of cities and highways. The main challenges for efficient handling lie in the random nature of the event and the speed and accuracy of its notification to the authorities. Thus, the large number of vehicles on the roads, together with their communication and monitoring capabilities, allow the detection and alert of such events occurrences. However, transmitting such detections to the destinations can be difficult due to the not entirely reliable nature of those involved, especially when there is a need for retransmission of the alert message between the detecting vehicle and the destination. In this sense, choosing the most suitable etransmitter vehicle, among the possible ones, becomes an issue. In this sense, this work proposes the development and use of a Vehicle Credibility Factor (VCF) in Ad Hoc Vehicular Networks (VANETs), generated by means of the use of several criteria that represent traffic behavior, as input parameters for the AHP multicriteria decision-making method. The result of the method is the VCF, which is used to determine, by ranking, the most reliable vehicles to transmit sensitive information for alerting critical traffic events.
