    Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a key component of intelligent transportation System (ITS). In VANETs, vehicles and roadside units exchange information for the purpose of navigation, safe driving, entertainment and so on. The high mobility of vehicles makes efficient and private communications in VANETs a big challenge. Improving the performance of information dissemination while protecting data privacy is studied in this research. Meet-Table based information dissemination method is first proposed, so as to improve the information dissemination, and to efficiently distribute information via utilizing roadside units, Cloud Computing, and Fog Computing. A clustering algorithm is proposed as well, to improve the stability for self-organized cluster-based dissemination in VANETs on highways. Then, fuzzy neural networks are used to improve the stability and security of routing protocols, AODV, and design a novel protocol, GSS-AODV. To further protect data privacy, a multi-antenna based information protection approach for vehicle-to-vehicle(V2V) communications is also proposed

    Due to the characteristics of vehicular ad hoc networks, the increased mobility of nodes and the inconsistency of wireless communication connections pose significant challenges for routing. As a result, researchers find it to be a fascinating topic to study. Furthermore, since these networks are vulnerable to various assaults, providing an authentication method between the source and destination nodes is crucial. How to route in such networks more efficiently, taking into account node mobility characteristics and accompanying massive historical data, is still a matter of discussion. Fuzzy logic-based Trusted Routing Protocol for vehicular cloud networks (FTRP) is proposed in this study that determines the secure path for data dissemination. Fuzzy Logic determines the node candidacy value and selects or rejects a path accordingly. The cloud assigns a confidence score to each vehicle based on the data it collects from nodes after each interaction. Our study identifies the secure path on the basis of trust along with factors such as speed, closeness to other nodes, signal strength and distance from the neighbouring nodes. Simulations of the novel protocol demonstrate that it can keep the packet delivery ratio high with little overhead and low delay. FTRP has significant implications for deploying Vehicular Cloud Networks using electric vehicle technologies in smart cities. The routing data is collected with the help of Internet of Technology (IOT) sensors. The information is transmitted between vehicles using IOT gateways

    Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) enable efficient communication between vehicles with the aim of improving road safety. However, the growing number of vehicles in dense regions and obstacle shadowing regions like Manhattan and other downtown areas leads to frequent disconnection problems resulting in disrupted radio wave propagation between vehicles. To address this issue and to transmit critical messages between vehicles and drones deployed from service vehicles to overcome road incidents and obstacles, we proposed a hybrid technique based on fog computing called Hybrid-Vehfog to disseminate messages in obstacle shadowing regions, and multi-hop technique to disseminate messages in non-obstacle shadowing regions. Our proposed algorithm dynamically adapts to changes in an environment and benefits in efficiency with robust drone deployment capability as needed. Performance of Hybrid-Vehfog is carried out in Network Simulator (NS-2) and Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) simulators. The results showed that Hybrid-Vehfog outperformed Cloud-assisted Message Downlink Dissemination Scheme (CMDS), Cross-Layer Broadcast Protocol (CLBP), PEer-to-Peer protocol for Allocated REsource (PrEPARE), Fog-Named Data Networking (NDN) with mobility, and flooding schemes at all vehicle densities and simulation times

    Evaluation study of IEEE 1609.4 performance for safety and non-safety messages dissemination

    The IEEE 1609.4 was developed to support multi-channel operation and channel switching procedure in order to provide both safety and non-safety vehicular applications. However, this protocol has some drawback because it does not make efficient usage of channel bandwidth resources for single radio WAVE devices and suffer from high bounded delay and lost packet especially for large-scale networks in terms of the number of active nodes. This paper evaluates IEEE 1609.4 multi-channel protocol performance for safety and non-safety application and compare it with the IEEE 802.11p single channel protocol. Multi-channel and single channel protocols are analyzed in different environments to investigate their performance. By relying on a realistic dataset and using OMNeT++ simulation tool as network simulator, SUMO as traffic simulator and coupling them by employing Veins framework. Performance evaluation results show that the delay of single channel protocol IEEE 802.11p has been degraded 36% compared with multi-channel protocol
