DYMO routing protocol with knowledge of nodes’ position

Abstract

We present a system that selects the optimal route between two points for vehicles moving in an urban environment. Our approach uses location data gathered from smartphones, which includes route segments and their corresponding travel time. The system can be used as a standalone application with a user interface for path visualization. Additionally, route selection and location prediction can be used for improving streaming video applications and for scheduling delay tolerant data transfers to achieve mobile data offloading.
