Description & Coverage
Description:

A Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a non-infrastructure based network that does not rely on a central administration for communication between vehicles. The flexibility of VANETs opens the door to a myriad of applications; however, there are also a number of computer communication challenges that await researchers and engineers who are serious about their implementation and deployment.

Advances in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks: Developments and Challenges tackles the prevalent research challenges that hinder a fully deployable vehicular network. This unique reference presents a unified treatment of the various aspects of VANETs and is essential for not only university professors, but also for researchers working in the automobile industry.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Architecture of vehicular ad hoc networks
  • Communication technologies in vehicular applications
  • Cooperative collision avoidance
  • Geographic routing in vehicular ad hoc networks
  • IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.16e technologies
  • Information sharing in VANETs
  • Infrastructures in vehicular communications
  • Mobility and traffic model analysis
  • Opportunistic networking
  • Routing protocols in vehicular ad hoc networks
