Technological progress of wireless networks resulted in the appearance of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). The exploitation of VANETs comes within the scope of developing intelligent transportation systems (ITS). This is possible through several types of applications designed for VANETs. In order to implement certain applications, it is necessary to be able to track vehicles on roads. An existing vehicle tracking system is based only on Road Side Units (RSUs) using Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communication. In this paper, in addition to V2I communication, we propose an approach that includes participating vehicles in the process of tracking by using Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication. This allows the sought vehicle to be tracked in areas not covered by RSUs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
