UWSN is a grid of many purposes of self-operating nodes with various applications related to various disciplines such as hydrographic surveys, tactical surveillance, disaster prevention, and bathymetry. The process of transmission and reception of messages by propagating sound in an underwater environment is known as acoustic communication. Transmission of acoustic waves is the only method to communicate underwater, as radio waves get attenuated severely and there is severe scattering in optical transmission. Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) have important applications in the exploration of underwater. UWSNs have various applications like in exploration of the sea, collection of data, monitoring of pollution, surveillance of tactics, prevention of disaster, in applications of ministry and surveying of mines.

This paper presents the model and algorithms for traffic flow data monitoring and optimal traffic light control based on wireless sensor networks. Given the scenario that sensor nodes are sparsely deployed along the segments between signalized intersections, an analytical model is built using continuum traffic equation and develops the method to estimate traffic parameter with the scattered sensor data. Based on the traffic data and principle of traffic congestion formation, we introduce the congestion factor which can be used to evaluate the real-time traffic congestion status along the segment and to predict the subcritical state of traffic jams. The result is expected to support the timing phase optimization of traffic light control for the purpose of avoiding traffic congestion before its formation. We simulate the traffic monitoring based on theMobile Centurydataset and analyze the performance of traffic light control on VISSIM platform when congestion factor is introduced into the signal timing optimization model. The simulation result shows that this method can improve the spatial-temporal resolution of traffic data monitoring and evaluate traffic congestion status with high precision. It is helpful to remarkably alleviate urban traffic congestion and decrease the average traffic delays and maximum queue length.

ZusammenfassungEs wird ein neues Datenmonitoring-Verfahren für drahtlose Sensornetzwerke vorgestellt. Das Verfahren kombiniert geografische Hashtabellen mit Aggregation innerhalb des Netzwerks. Anfragen werden in Gebieten abgearbeitet, deren Sensorknoten ihre Werte in Knoten nahe einer festgelegten Lokation innerhalb des Gebietes sammeln, wo sie leicht von außen abgefragt werden können. Das Verfahren ist robust gegenüber Knotenausfällen und -bewegungen und erzeugt sehr geringen Netzwerkverkehr. Dies wird durch verschiedene Simulationen bestätigt.
