Abstract
Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is an emerging area of
wireless ad hoc networks that facilitates ubiquitous connectivity
between smart vehicles through Vehicle-to-Vehicle
(V2V) or Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R) and Roadside-to-
Vehicle (R2V) communications. This emerging field of technology
aims to improve safety of passengers and traffic flow,
reduces pollution to the environment and enables in-vehicle
entertainment applications. The safety-related applications
could reduce accidents by providing drivers with traffic information
such as collision avoidances, traffic flow alarms and
road surface conditions. Moreover, the passengers could exploit
an available infrastructure in order to connect to the
internet for infomobility and entertainment applications.
