Distributed Floating Car Data (DFCD) corresponds to vehicles directly exchanging their floating data and cooperatively estimating the local traffic density instead of letting this
task to the cloud. With a fully distributed approach, DFCD exhibits salient advantages in particular related to low latency and high reactiveness for smart mobility applications. This work proposes DissFlow, a DFCD solution relying on the knowledge of data dissemination delay of Vehicular-to-Everything (V2X) communications to estimate the underlying vehicular traffic density. DissFlow is first analytically formulated and analyzed, before being evaluated by simulation means on the iTETRIS platform.
Considering a 1-D road network modeled by SUMO, simulation results show that the knowledge of the V2X dissemination delay allows to closely estimate and follow the evolutionary trend of vehicular traffic density.
