Internet for Vanet Network Communications -fleetnet-

Now in the world, the exchange of information between vehicles in the roads without any fixed infrastructure is enabled thanks to the novel technology of the Vehicular ad hoc networks called (VANETs). The accidents and congestions warning, Internet access e.g. via gateways along the road are the main applications of these networks related to the safety and comfort applications. A high requirement on the routing protocols is introduced in these complexed VANETs networks In order to implement a reference intelligent transportation system and contribute to the standardization of vehicle to vehicle communication or vehicle to infrastructure, in Europe, several projects are held and different partners are joined from the industry, governmental agencies and academia. This paper explains the main progress and purposes of the standardization process and research initiatives of FleetNet project. These solutions will present in the future a common worldwide VANET platform integrating several services of inter-vehicles communications.
