The FleetNet project4 [1,2,3] develops a platform for inter-vehicle communications based on ad hoc networking principles. With an ad hoc network established by moving vehicles, a realm of applications – ranging from exchange of emergency warnings or sensor data to unicast communication between passengers of different vehicles and to integration of the vehicular ad hoc network with the Internet ...

Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have recently gained considerable attention from both research and industry communities. One of the challenges posed by the study of VANETs is the definition of routing protocols design. In this paper, a realistic simulation environment is developed based on Mobility model generator for Vehicular networks (MOVE) and Network Simulator (NS2). The performance of ...

This paper is concerned with the problem of vehicular platoon control in vehicular ad hoc networks subject to capacity limitation and random packet dropouts. By introducing binary sequences as the basis of network access scheduling and modeling random packet dropouts as independent Bernoulli processes, we derive a closedform methodology for vehicular platoon control. In particular, an interesti...

Abstract—VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Network) is an emerging technology to achieve intelligent inter vehicle communications, it is the specialized derivation of pure multi hop ad hoc networking and are already going through industrial prototyping; the dreamed idea of general purpose vehicular ad hoc network is still away from reality. Vehicular communication has been one of the hottest topics for t...

Vehicular ad hoc networks are a long-term solution contributing significantly towards intelligent transport systems (ITS) in providing access to critical life-safety applications and services. Although vehicular ad hoc networks are attracting greater commercial interest, current research has not adequately captured the real-world constraints in vehicular ad hoc network handover techniques. Ther...

A mobile ad hoc network is a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected without wires. They use wireless connections to connect to various networks.One new type of ad-hoc network in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network in which vehicles constitute the mobile nodes in the network. The ad-hoc protocols in Mobile Ad-Hoc network is already is introduced earlier. But ...

A novel kind of ad hoc network is defeating the roads: Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks. In these networks, vehicles communicate with each other and perhaps with a roadside infrastructure to provide a long list of requests varying from transit safety to driver support and Internet access. Security is a vital concern for many Vehicular Ad-hoc Network applications. One specific serious attack, known as ...

A new kind of ad hoc network is hitting the streets: Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANets). In these networks, vehicles communicate with each other and possibly with a roadside infrastructure to provide a long list of applications varying from transit safety to driver assistance and Internet access. In these networks, knowledge of the real-time position of nodes is an assumption made by most proto...

This paper explores recent improvements in 802.11p multi-channel protocol in vehicular ad-hoc networks. We provide definitions for a vehicular network and explore the operation of 802.11 within a vehicular network. We also study on areas of improvements of this protocol and briefly discuss on advantages and disadvantages of each solution.
