“…Finally, it is worth citing two works that provide considerable contribution to the development of vehicular networks. The first presented a real-world testbed called HarborNet [54], a vehicular mesh networking testbed that comprised OBUs installed in trucks, administration vehicles, tow boats, and patrol vessels; RSUs connected to the optic fibre backbone of the seaport; and cloud-based data and control systems. It allowed cloud-based code deployment, remote network control, and distributed data collection from moving vehicles, thus enabling a wide range of experiments and performance analyses.…”

Cooperative-Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITSs) aim to connect vehicles, both with one another and with road infrastructures, so as to increase traffic safety and efficiency. This paper focuses on the European framework for supporting the development of Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility, and aims to shed light on the current state of testing and deployment activities in the field at the start of 2019. This may be considered particularly timely given that the year 2019 was identified as the starting date for the deployment of mature services, and the Community legislation is currently paying great attention to the matter. In order to present a concise (but comprehensive) picture, we consulted and analysed the most diverse sources comprising more than 2000 pages.

“…The activity of Veniam serves as a good example of a successful implementation of research work on mobile sensor networks in a commercial product. The company's founders, Barros, Cardote, and Sargento, were previously involved in research on mobile and sensor networks, among others [55]- [58]. In 2003, as a result of their work, commissioned by city authorities, Veniam launched in Porto, Portugal, a mobile wireless network targeting to collect the results of measurements performed in the urban environment and improving the operational efficacy of the city's transport and service utility vehicles.…”

Research into the topology control of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is geared towards modeling and analysis of methods that may be potentially harnessed to optimize the structure of connections. However, in practice, the ideas and concepts provided by researchers have actually been rarely used by network designers, while sensor systems that have already been deployed and are under continued development in urban environments frequently differ from the patterns and research models available. Moreover, easy access to diversified wireless technologies enabling new solutions to be empirically developed and popularized has also been conducive to strengthening this particular trend. -empirical approach, node deployment, sensor network, topology control, urban environment, WSN.

“…It is expected that in the future, all types of vehicles, such as cars, buses and trucks, will have the ability to form a network of connected vehicles. A practical example of this near future is a global-level vehicular communication platform which comprises more than 600 vehicles (taxis, trucks and buses) and fixed stations located in the city of Porto, Portugal [1][2][3].…”

The main drivers for the continuous development of Vehicular ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are safety applications and services. However, in recent years, new interests have emerged regarding the introduction of new applications and services for non-urgent content (e.g., videos, ads, sensing and touristic information) dissemination. However, there is a lack of real studies considering content dissemination strategies to understand when and to whom the content should be disseminated using real vehicular traces gathered from real vehicular networks. This work presents a realistic study of strategies for dissemination of non-urgent content with the main goal of improving content delivery as well as minimizing network congestion and resource usage. First, we perform an exhaustive network characterization. Then, several content strategies are specified and evaluated in different scenarios (city center and parking lot). All the obtained results show that there are two content distribution strategies that clearly set themselves apart due to their superior performance: Local Rarest Bundle First and Local Rarest Generation First.
