A Reliable Method for Detecting False Alarm Notification in VANET

VANET is a vehicular ad hoc network which is a sub part of WSN (Wireless Sensor Network). In VANET technology, alert or alarm plays a major role. With the help of an alert or alarm driver may alert for the upcoming event, but what happens when these alarms are false. It means these may give false information about an event that is happening on the route. The notification of wrong information dissemination may be called a false alarm notification and there are various challenges faced by VANET technology to detect false alarm notification like Lack of accurate and reliable information, Limited processing power, Dynamic topology, Limited communication range. So proposed algorithm is to detect false alarm notifications and to overcome the challenges faced by VANET. The proposed algorithm is based on rules based approach which means these give notification about the false alarm information or may generate alarm for the same. The main objective of this paper is to detect the false alarm for a vehicle, which means that the algorithm should identify notifications that do not represent an actual event with the help of location time and type of alert.
