Concepts inDemo: simulating the impact of communication performance on road traffic safety at intersections

Road traffic safety

Road traffic safety refers to methods and measures for reducing the risk of a person using the road network being killed or seriously injured. The users of a road include pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, their passengers, and passengers of on-road public transport, mainly buses and trams.  more from Wikipedia

Network simulation

In communication and computer network research, network simulation is a technique where a program models the behavior of a network either by calculating the interaction between the different network entities using mathematical formulas, or actually capturing and playing back observations from a production network.  more from Wikipedia

Goodput

In computer networks, goodput is the application level throughput, i.e. the number of useful information bits, delivered by the network to a certain destination, per unit of time. The amount of data considered excludes protocol overhead bits as well as retransmitted data packets. This is related to the amount of time from the first bit of the first packet is sent (or delivered) until the last bit of the last packet is delivered, see below.  more from Wikipedia

Vehicle

A vehicle is a mobile machine that is designed or used to transport people or cargo. Most often vehicles are manufactured, such as bicycles, cars, motorcycles, trains, ships, boats and aircraft. Vehicles that do not travel on land often are called craft, such as watercraft, sailcraft, aircraft, hovercraft and spacecraft. Land vehicles are classified broadly by what is used to apply steering and drive forces against the ground: wheeled, tracked, railed or skied.  more from Wikipedia

Jitter

Jitter is the undesired deviation from true periodicity of an assumed periodic signal in electronics and telecommunications, often in relation to a reference clock source. Jitter may be observed in characteristics such as the frequency of successive pulses, the signal amplitude, or phase of periodic signals. Jitter is a significant, and usually undesired, factor in the design of almost all communications links. In clock recovery applications it is called timing jitter.  more from Wikipedia

Road

A road is a route, thoroughfare or way that supports travel by a means of conveyance.  more from Wikipedia

Traffic

Traffic on roads may consist of pedestrians, ridden or herded animals, vehicles, streetcars and other conveyances, either singly or together, while using the public way for purposes of travel. Traffic laws are the laws which govern traffic and regulate vehicles, while rules of the road are both the laws and the informal rules that may have developed over time to facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic.  more from Wikipedia
