In this paper, a hybrid communication paradigm for vehicular networking is presented in which connectivity is provided by both existing network infrastructure (e.g., wireless network access points) through a vehicle-to-infrastructure protocol and traditional vehicle-to-vehicle networking. Preexisting infrastructure can provide seamless connectivity, especially when vehicles are sparse or travel...

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication is currently a focus of research and standardization in the USA, Europe and Asia. It is believed that V2V safety applications are able to reduce traffic fatalities significantly. Data security was identified as a major technical aspect to resolve before potential deployment. In particular, communication security and priv...

Vehicular networking has established itself, in the short span of the last few years, as one of the most promising fields of research within the larger context of metropolitan-scale wireless networking. Enabling vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-toinfrastructure (V2I) communication, a pervasive deployment of vehicular networking technologies would have an unprecedented impact on mass road tr...

Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are complex systems well-suited to a multi-agent modeling. We propose a multi-agent based modeling of a C-ITS, that couples 3 dynamics (physical, informational and control dynamics) in order to ensure a smooth cooperation between non cooperative and cooperative vehicles, that communicate with each other (V2V communication) and the infrastru...

A communication system is required for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. Given that vehicles will count by hundred millions and have a life expectancy of ten years or more and also that technologies are always involving, we believe that the communication system must be based on IPv6 and its associated protocols in order to scale and meet future needs. Recent work at the IET...

The development of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) presents a great opportunity to extend the current range vehicle vision, by gathering information outside its sensors. Two main sources could be aggregated for this extended perception; making use vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V), infrastructure using vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I). In paper, we focus on side make case low-latenc...

The preceding critical points have motivated a lot of interest in developing applications with DSRC technology to improve safety and mobility of traffic on U.S. highways (3–11). Recently, a remote collision avoidance system using DSRC-based V2V communication was verified (8). Similarly, a DSRC-based secure communication protocol for a vehicle ad hoc network has been proposed by exchanging warni...
