The main objective of this work is the development of a Vehicle Ad Hoc NETwork (VANET) to collect data from GPS equipped mobile phones used as noise detectors. In this system, sensor nodes perioadically transmit acoustic noise levels to neighboring cars, data packets being shared and temporary stored by participating VANET nodes and ultimately forwarded to a collector node connected to the Internet, providing public real-time data. A routing technique called MP-OLSR that takes into account the spatially separation between the multiple paths is used, for better transmission reliability and congestion avoidance as well as for control message overhead minimization.
