Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks(VANETs): Capabilities, Challenges in Information Gathering and Data Fusion

Localization in vehicular ad hoc networks using data fusion and V2V communication

“…A comprehensive overview of the 15 properties, features and applications of VANETs are presented in [1]. 16 VANETs have various applications including safe and convenient 17 driving, emergency and entertainment applications, intelligent navi-18 gation, etc [2]. The key features of the VANETs over the conventional Q3 Q4 19 ITS are their network-based structure and the capability of commu- 20 nication between vehicles, i.e.…”

“…The key features of the VANETs over the conventional Q3 Q4 19 ITS are their network-based structure and the capability of commu- 20 nication between vehicles, i.e. vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and vehicles 21 to roadside units (V2R) or other available infrastructures (V2I), by 22 utilizing the underlying communication platforms and standardized 23 protocols [2,3]. In V2V, the vehicles communicate with each other to 24 share the information needed by an application or so called "service".…”

“…1 Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are a specific type of ad-hoc 2 networks, which are infrastructure-free as well as they have fixed and 3 mobile nodes. In VANETs, the nodes are deemed vehicles with high 4 dynamicity causing rapid changes in the network topology.…”

Improving dynamic and distributed congestion control in vehicular ad hoc networks

“…While the former is fixed on the roadside, the latter is carried on by vehicle. These units are used for carrying out wireless communications between vehicles (V2V communications) as well as between vehicles and roadside infrastructures (V2I communications) [1,2]. Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) is a set of protocols and standards that are employed in VANets.…”

Vehicle localization in VANETs using data fusion and V2V communication

“…Various applications of VANETs include safe and convenient driving, intelligent navigation, emergency, and entertainment applications, etc [11]. The main features that makes VANETs distinct from conventional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are its network-based structure and the capability of communication between vehicles, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and vehicles and roadside units (V2R) or other available infrastructures (V2I) by utilizing the underlying communication platforms and stanPermission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.…”
