The successful deployment of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) has to overcome the serious security threats which impair the operation of different vehicular applications. This paper presents the vulnerabilities of vehicular ad hoc networks and analyzes some of the security problems inherent in VANETs and also presents proposed solutions to overcome some of the vulnerabilities and security pro...

The systems in which information and communication technologies and systems engineering concepts are utilized to develop and improve transportation systems of all kinds are called “The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)”. ITS integrates information, communications, computers and other technologies and uses them in the field of transportation to build an integrated system of people, roads ...

There has been significant progress in the field of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) over the last several years which support vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. With the two types of communication modes, user can access the internet and existing mobility management can be reviewed. Mobility management and handoffs are the most challenging research issues for vehi...

A Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) consists of vehicles which communicate with each other and exchange data via wireless communication links available between the vehicles which are in communication ranges of vehicles to improve the road safety in city. The communication between vehicles is used to provide road safety, comfort and entertainment. The performance of communication depends on how b...

Ad-hoc networks are an emerging technology with immense potential. Recent advances in high-tech sensors, communication devices and microprocessors has given rise to a growing commercial interest in ad-hoc networks for inter-vehicular communications. Most of the research in inter-vehicular communication systems has focused on driver safety, accident reporting and multi-hop routing. There is an e...

Vehicular ad hoc networks have been attracting the interest of both academic and industrial communities on account of their potential role in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). However, due to vehicle movement and fading in wireless communications, providing a reliable and efficient multi-hop broadcast service in vehicular ad hoc networks is still an open research topic. In this paper, w...

This paper talks about an emerging and exciting application of ad-hoc network where vehicles are serving as nodes. This area has certain promised aspects and activities to be offered, which are broadly related with the safety, convenience, entertainment, and various other topics of interest. It is an ad hoc network of vehicles, known as ‘Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET).’ Vehicular Ad-Hoc netwo...

Vehicular ad hoc networking is an emerging paradigm which is gaining much interest with the development of new topics such as the connected vehicle, the autonomous vehicle, and also new high-speed mobile communication technologies such as 802.11p and LTE-D. This paper presents a brief review of different mobility models used for evaluating performance of routing protocols and applications desig...

Vehicular ad hoc networking is an emerging technology for future on-the-road communications. Due to the virtue of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are expected to enable a plethora of communication-based automotive applications including diverse in-vehicle infotainment applications and road safety services. Even though vehicles ...
