Abstract: “Wireless networking is an emerging technology that allows users to access information and services electronically, regardless of their geographic position. Applications for the use of wireless networking have become increasingly popular and more sophisticated. One of the most important applications based on the use of wireless networks is for motorway surveillance. In a wireless Motorway Surveillance System (MSS), a series of cameras capable of transmitting images wirelessly are placed along a roadway. In an `infrastructure-less' MSS, one important consideration is the placement of the cameras in a specific topology. Topology imposes several constraints on the amount of data of images that can be transmitted through the network, which leads to effects on the network's overall performance. This paper evaluates and analyzes the effects of topology on the performance of a motorway surveillance system comprised of wireless cameras placed along a roadway. Two different types of configuratio”
