Multiagent Based Information Dissemination in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Speed Adaptive Information Dissemination in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks

Directed information dissemination in vehicular ad-hoc networks

In this article, we utilize the idea of multipoint relays (MPRs) found in literature [2] to propagate accident information in a restricted way (e.g., only backwards). We devise an algorithm to identify MPRs that are geographically situated behind a particular node using only its neighbor table, and speed information of the neighboring vehicles. With the identification of the backward MPRs, it i...

yTraffic Information Dissemination in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Today, cars are equipped with all kind of on-board sensors and microcomputers that are able to measure geolocation, speed, tire pressure, raindrops on the windshield, etc., and based on these information Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are built. The ITS applications are intended to ease the everyday life of drivers by reducing the risk of accidents, improving safety, increasing road c...

Emergency Information Dissemination in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

The main goal of inter-vehicle communication technology is to provide the drivers with more information regarding the surroundings than they can visually perceive. A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network, or VANET, is one such technology that uses moving vehicles as nodes in a network to create a wireless ad hoc network. Many applications in VANETs are based on dissemination of information to the drivers ab...

Location Based Information Storage and Dissemination in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) is an emerging type of information networks in urban areas. A lot of research has been done in the area of increasing the vehicle awareness by disseminating collision and congestion warnings, and parking place availability information. In this paper we propose a novel idea and framework for dissemination of location based information, called digital maps, whic...
