Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) represents a challenging class of mobile ad-hoc networks that enables vehicles to intelligently communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure. VANET poses number of challenges in terms of Quality of Service (QoS) and its performance. Quality of Service depends on numerous parameters such as bandwidth, packet delivery ratio, data latency, delay var...

A wireless ad-hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network [7]. InVANET, or Intelligent Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networking, defines an intelligent way of using Vehicular Networking [7]. InVANET combines different ad-hoc networking technologies for easy, accurate, effective and simple communication between vehicles on dynamic environment. Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks are expected to implement a...

Direct Device-to-Device (D2D) communications underlaying the cellular network are receiving increasing attention lately: LTE-A standard will adopt them for unicast proximity services. So far, no application has been envisioned for broadcast transmissions. In this work, we propose an eMBMSinspired mechanism to allocate a quasi-static pool of resources over multiple eNodeBs (eNBs) for D2D broadca...

Intelligent Transport System (ITS), aiming to provide innovative services related to traffic management, road safety and convenience, has drawn much attention in academic and industrial worlds in recent years. Japan has been considered as an advanced country in ITS development. This paper first gives an overview of the current ITS operated in Japan including Vehicle Information and Communicatio...

Millions of traffic accidents occur each year that negatively impacts the economy as well human lives. Human error is principal cause accidents. Medical conditions drivers are not usually monitored have a significant role in Chronic illnesses been shown to reduced cognitive, visual and motor skills, which key driving requirements. In conjunction with current wireless communication technologies ...

Road safety is a worldwide issue. The constant increase of the number of vehicles and the more congested infrastructure lead to more traffic incidents. Infrastructure to vehicle communication is a way to improve traffic safety, by sending traffic information to vehicles, such as the colour the next traffic light will be when the car reaches the road junction. This approach may be useful also fo...
