Vehicular ad hoc networks can play an important role in enhancing transportation efficiency and improving road safety. Therefore, direct vehicle-to-vehicle communications are considered as one of the main building blocks of a future Intelligent Transportation System. The success and availability of IEEE 802.11 radios made this technology the most probable choice for the medium access control la...

Vehicular networks are an emerging network to improve safety, efficiency, and convenience of the existing transportation system. In order to preserve privacy in vehicular networks, it is desirable to keep users anonymous. In this paper, we argue that existing approaches, for example, ring singature and anonymous authentication, are susceptible to intersection attack in vehicular networks, resul...

Vehicular communication is considered to be a backbone for many critical safety applications. In order to achieve a better implementation of any vehicular communication scenario, an efficient, accurate and reliable simulator is essential. Various open source and commercial simulating tools are available for this purpose. One of the key issues in this regard is the selection of a reliable simula...

The systems in which information and communication technologies and systems engineering concepts are utilized to develop and improve transportation systems of all kinds are called “The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)”. ITS integrates information, communications, computers and other technologies and uses them in the field of transportation to build an integrated system of people, roads ...

Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is one of the largest areas of interest in wireless technology because it provides very wide variety of services in the field of transportation. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) provides a set of standards for Vehicular Communication networks. The vehicular network provides many useful applications and advantages. The multimedia applications, which are ba...

In this paper, we illustrate a Mobile Wireless Vehicular Environment Simulation (MoVES) framework for the parallel and distributed simulation of vehicular wireless ad hoc networks (VANETs). The proposed framework supports extensible, module-based and layered modeling, and scalable, accurate and efficient simulation of vehicular scenarios integrated with wireless communication and mobile service...

In recent time, the standards for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) matured and scientific and industry interest is high especially as autonomous driving gets a lot of media attention. Autonomous driving and other assistance systems for cars make heavy use of VANETs to exchange information.They may provide more comfort, security and safety for driv...

Vehicular networks aimed toward providing roadside services such as traffic alerts, estimated time to reach a destination, alternative routes, and in general improve the efficiency and safety on the road are emerging in both the United States and Europe. Information exchange in such networks occurs between vehicles (inter-vehicle communications) in an ad hoc manner and also with roadside base s...

$EVWUDFW2 Vehicular networks are promising in providing Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication, thus allowing for several useful services on roads related to safety applications as well as entertainment applications. However, a number of constraints can impact the reliability of vehicular networks applications. The general constraints concern the high mobilit...

The vehicular cloud is a promising new paradigm, where vehicular networking and mobile cloud computing are elaborately integrated to enhance the quality of vehicular information services. Pseudonym is a resource for vehicles to protect their location privacy, which should be efficiently utilized to secure vehicular clouds. However, only a few existing architectures of pseudonym systems take fle...
