Vehicular wireless networks are one of the most valuable tools for monitoring platforms in the automotive domain. At the same time, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions are playing a crucial role in the same framework, allowing users to connect to vehicles in order to gather data related to their working cycle. Such tasks can be accomplished by resorting to either cellular or non-cellular wireless technologies. While the former can ensure low latency but require high running costs, the latter can be employed in quasi-real-time applications but definitely reduce costs. To this end, this paper proposes the results of two measurement campaigns aimed at assessing the performance of the long-range wide-area network (LoRaWAN) protocol when it is exploited as an enabling technology to provide vehicles with connectivity. Performances are evaluated in terms of packet loss (PL) and received signal strength indicator (RSSI) in wireless links. The two testing scenarios consisted of a transmitter installed on a motorbike running on an elliptical track and a receiver placed in the centre of the track, and a transmitter installed on the roof of a car and a receiver placed next to a straight road. Several speeds were tested, and all the spreading factors (SFs) foreseen by the protocol were examined, showing that the Doppler effect has a marginal influence on the receiving performance of the technology, and that, on the whole, performance is not significantly affected by the speed. Such results prove the feasibility of LoRaWAN links for vehicular network purposes. |
