Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) provide a set of standards for vehicular
communications. The main focus of research activities, within ITS, has been on development …

In the near future, it is expected that vehicles which increasingly become an intelligent
systems will be equipped with radio communications interfaces. Thus, vehicular networks …

Not too long ago, both wireless communications and radar systems involved either
expensive terminals or large infrastructure. On the communication side, this changed with …

With this essential guide to vehicular networking, you will learn about everything from
conceptual approaches and state-of-the-art protocols, to system designs and their …

Vehicles equipped with intelligent systems designed to prevent accidents, such as collision
warning systems (CWSs) or lane-kee** assistance (LKA), are now on the market. The next …

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are an extreme case of mobile ad hoc networks
(MANETs). High speed and frequent network topology changes are the main characteristics …

In this paper we study the performance of the IEEE 1609 WAVE and IEEE 802.11 p trial
standards for vehicular communications. We have implemented key components of these …

In the last years many routing protocols proposals have been made considering the
particular VANET characteristics. From the many proposals that came up, the protocols …

IEEE 802.11 p and 1609 standards are currently under development to support Vehicle-to-
Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communications in vehicular networks. For …
