Potential Business Impact:
Helps send emergency messages in crowded places.
This paper investigates the latter scenario of individual emergency alerts in airports by applying two existing benchmark delay tolerant network protocols and evaluating their performance of delivery ratio and latency. First, the paper provides a background on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), as well as Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) as a subset of MANETs. Next, the scenario is simulated using the Opportunistic Network Environment (ONE) simulator and runs the DTN protocols applying Spray and Wait and Epidemic. The study discusses the results, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each protocol within the scenario and addressing constraints of the simulation or experimental setup. A wider discussion then considers related research on technologies that combat human trafficking and the potential role of DTN networks in improving this global issue for the better.
