Investigation of Multi-Protocol Label Switching for Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract

Intelligent Transportation Systems have many applications, which may be applicable to human safety, traffic management, entertainment and comfort of the users, etc. Most of these applications require better Quality-of-Service provisioning and improved performance by the underlying communication network. Multi-Protocol Label Switching is an efficient and effective technique for forwarding packets along with supporting Quality-of-Service. This work present: an approach that involves integration of Multi-Protocol Label Switching into Intelligent Transportation Systems and investigates its applicability and work-ability in such systems. It would enable harvesting inbuilt capabilities of Multi-Protocol Label Switching in ITS.
