AB In this work, we present a distributed systemdesigned for road traffic management. The system is inspired by the behavior of the ant colonies. The distributed design responds to the particular limitations of an emergency situation; mainly, the fixed infrastructures are out of servicebecause no energy supply is available. The implementation is based on the VANET facilities complemented with passive RFID tags or GPS localization. The vehicles can use theinformation of previous vehicles to dynamically decide the best path. A scale prototype has been developed to validate the system. It consists of several small size robotic vehicles, a testroad circuit and a visual monitorization system. The security of the system is provided by a combination of data aggregation and reputation lists.

NO We have proposed an algorithm, based on ant colonies, for road traffic management. The implementation of the algorithm does not rely on fixed infrastructures in order to operate in emergency situations. It only uses the VANETV2V communications and location systems that do not require contact with a fixed infrastructure. The algorithm uses signature aggregation and reputation lists to ensure system security. Furthermore, the algorithm has an implicit security that minimizes the risks in case ofattacks. A scale prototype has been designed and implemented to validate the algorithm using RFID location system.
