Vehicular networking is an emerging area of interest in the wireless networking community as well as in the transportation research community. Vehicular ad hoc networks (vanet) are distributed, self-organizing communication networks which progressed from traveling vehicles, and are thus characterized by very high speeds and limited degrees of freedom in node (vehicle) movement patterns. Differe...

The steady state VOC concentration in automobile cabin is taken as a good indicator to characterize the material emission behaviors and evaluate the vehicular air quality. Most studies in this field focus on experimental investigation while theoretical analysis is lacking. In this paper we firstly develop a simplified physical model to describe the VOC emission from automobile materials, and th...

There is an increasing concern about the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment as they are ubiquitous in ambient air and some of them are among the strongest known carcinogens. PAHs and their derivatives are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic material arising, partly, from natural combustion such as forest and volcanic eruption, but with the majo...

Many accidents were happened because of fast driving, habitual working overtime or tired spirit. This paper presents a solution of remote warning for vehicles collision avoidance using vehicular communication. The development system integrates dedicated short range communication (DSRC) and global position system (GPS) with embedded system into a powerful remote warning system. To transmit the v...

1556-6072/17©2017ieee ieee vehicular technology magazine | June 2017 Cloud-based vehicular networks are a promising paradigm to improve vehicular services through distributing computation tasks between remote clouds and local vehicular terminals. To further reduce the latency and the transmission cost of the computation off-loading, we propose a cloud-based mobileedge computing (MEC) off-loadin...

The focus of this article is to show how a caching mechanism can be applied to vehicular networks operating under the draft standard IEEE 802.11p to reduce the probe delay, and consequently, the handover delay in vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. The authors have developed and tested an IEEE 802.11p model within the simulator NS-2 to evaluate the performance of vehicular applicati...

Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) have the potential to interconnect devices in regions that current networking technology cannot reach. Delay Tolerant Networks are utilized in various operational environments, including those subject to disruption and disconnection and those with high-delay, such as Vehicular ad-hoc Networks (VANET). Vehicular networks can be seen as an example of hybrid delay to...

Research in Vehicular Networks (VNs) has found in simulation the most useful method to test new algorithms and techniques. This is mainly due to the high cost of deploying such systems in real scenarios. When simulating vehicular environments, two different issues must be addressed: mobility and wireless communications. Regarding mobility, several mobility pattern generators have been proposed ...
