This paper provides an overview of reliability issues in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) for safety-related applications. First, IEEE 802.11p based DSRC system, communication environment, and applications on safety related services are introduced. The factors affecting the reliability of safety services provided by VANETs are identified. Second, the features and requirements of VANETs for sa...

The main benefit of cooperative vehicular communication networks is the increased traffic safety that safety applications could introduce. Although the technological aspects have been extensively researched, the feasibility regions in which communication could support safety applications are yet not clear. This is, primarily, due to the lack of clearly defined application requirements. Moreover...

In today's world, the Internet of Things (IoT), which is a fairly new technology, has become a popular topic for discussion. Meanwhile, the increasing demand for personalized healthcare with the assistance of new technologies has created new applications called e-health IoT applications; however, researchers are still attempting to find its applications, therefore they have not been able to foc...

Currently, vehicles use safety systems like airbags or seat belts to increase the traffic safety of passengers during traffic accidents. In the near future, most new vehicles will be equipped with other type of traffic safety applications, which could prevent vehicles from e.g., traffic accident crashing. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of these future traffic safety applica...

Cooperative vehicular communication systems are being developed to improve traffic safety and efficiency through the wireless exchange of information between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure units. The future deployment of cooperative active safety applications requires their prior extensive testing due to their critical nature and strict quality of service requirements. Such te...
