VANET: Research Methodologies, Challenges and Applications

Dr. U D Prasan

Abstract :

 A Vehicular Ad–Hoc Network or VANET is a sub form of Mobile Ad–Hoc Network or MANET that provides communication between vehicles and between vehicles and road–side base stations with an aim of providing efficient and safe transportation. The Vehicular Networks can provide wide variety of services, range from safety–related warning systems to improved navigation mechanisms as well as information and entertainment applications.  So  lot  of  research work  is  being  conducted  to  study  the problems  related  to  the  vehicular  communications  including  network  architecture,  protocols,  routing algorithms, as well as security  issues. In order to stimulate the ‘beginners in research’, here we present a paper on an overview of Vehicular Ad–hoc Networks. VANETs comprise vehicle–to–vehicle and vehicle–to–infrastructure communications based on wireless local area network technologies. The distinctive set of candidate applications, resources, and the environment make the VANET a unique area of wireless communication. Due to their unique characteristics such as high dynamic topology and predictable mobility, VANETs attract so much attention of both academia and industry. In this paper, we provide an overview of the main aspects of VANETs from a research perspective. This paper starts with the basic architecture of networks, then discusses research issues and general research methods, and ends up with the analysis on challenges and applications of VANETs.
