Vehicular Communications and Networks: Architectures, Protocols, Operation and Deployment

Vehicular Communications and Networks: Architectures, Protocols, Operation and Deployment discusses VANETs (Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks) or VCS (Vehicular Communication Systems), which can improve safety, decrease fuel consumption, and increase the capacity of existing roadways and which is critical for the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) industry. Part one covers architectures for VCS, part two describes the physical layer, antenna technologies and propagation models, part three explores protocols, algorithms, routing and information dissemination, and part four looks at the operation and deployment of vehicular communications and networks. Comprehensive coverage of the fundamental principles behind Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETS) and the rapidly growing need for their further developmentThorough overview of the design and development of key technologies and devicesExplores the practical application of this technology by outlining a number of  case studies, testbeds and simulations employing vehicular communications and networks INDICE: Part one - Architectures for vehicular communication systems: Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications; Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). Part two - Protocols, algorithms, routing and information dissemination for vehicular networks: Medium access control in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs); Information dissemination in vehicular networks; Broadcasting in vehicular networks; Opportunistic routing and delay tolerant networking in vehicular communication systems (VCS); Dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radio for vehicular communication networks; Modeling and evaluation of LTE and IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) in intelligent transportation systems (ITS); Security and privacy in vehicular networks. Part three - Operation and deployment of vehicular communications and networks: Connected vehicles in an intelligent transport system (ITS); Testbed for simulations of the effect of a vehicle ad-hoc network on traffic flow; Simulative performance evaluation of vehicular networks; Architectures for intelligent vehicles
