EBP: An Efficient Broadcast Protocol for Warning Message Dissemination in VANETs
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) enable vehicle-to-vehicle communications to share relevant road information with various applications. Road safety is one of the main objectives of VANETs that has attracted great interest from researchers. Other so-called
comfort applications have also been studied which can improve driving experience and passenger safety. In all these applications, sharing of warning messages can help drivers minimize accidents and congestions, and plan better itinerary during the congestion situations or the anticipation of potential and highly hazardous events. In this paper, we present an efficient broadcast protocol (EBP) for broadcasting warning messages in VANETs. As an improved strategy for alert data dissemination, EBP can be applied in whatever the nature of the risk, with a particular focus on mobile dangers. We first conduct an in-depth analysis and evaluation, under different conditions, of the existing approaches and mechanisms used for information dissemination in VANETs. Then, we point out their drawbacks and design the EBP to avoid these drawbacks. As a result, the EBP is an improved, well-justified and more effective protocol. We validate it by simulation experiments

Cognitive radio network in vehicular ad hoc network (VANET): a survey
Cognitive radio network and vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) are recent emerging concepts in wireless networking. Cognitive radio network obtains knowledge of its operational geographical environment to manage sharing of spectrum between primary and secondary users, while VANET shares emergency safety messages among vehicles to ensure safety of users on the road. Cognitive radio network is employed in VANET to ensure the efficient use of spectrum, as well as to support VANET’s deployment. Random increase and decrease of spectrum users, unpredictable nature of VANET, high mobility, varying interference, security, packet scheduling, and priority assignment are the challenges encountered in a typical cognitive VANET environment. This paper provides survey and critical analysis on different challenges of cognitive radio VANET, with discussion on the open issues, challenges, and performance metrics for different cognitive radio VANET applications

Qualitative Based Comparison of Routing Protocols for VANET
Vehicular ad hoc network is one of the most promising applications of MANET that an inter communication system. In VANET nodes which are vehicles can move safety with high speed and generally must communicate quickly reliably. When an accident occurs in a road or highway, alarm messages must be disseminated, instead of ad hoc routed, to inform all other vehicles. Vehicular ad hoc network architecture and cellular technology to achieve intelligent communication and improve road traffic safety and efficiency .To organize their in vehicle computing system, vehicle to vehicle ad hoc networks, hybrid architecture with special properties such as high mobility, network portioning and constrained topology .there is a lot of research about VANET for driving services, traffic information services, user communication and information services.

Reliable Routing in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks.
International audienceOne of the notoriously difficult problems in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) is to ensure that established routing paths do not break before the end of data transmission. This is a difficult problem because the network topology is constantly changing and the wireless communication links are inherently unstable, due to high node mobility. In this paper we classify existing VANET routing protocols into five categories: connectivity-based, mobility-based, infrastructure-based, geographic-location-based, and probability-model-based, according to their employed routing metrics. For each category, we present the general design ideas and state of the art. Our objective is to attract more attention to the VANET routing problem and encourage more research efforts on developing reliable solutions
A Multi-agent Approach for Routing on Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
AbstractVehicular Ad-Hoc Network is a special form of mobile ad -hoc networks (MANETs) which is a vehicle to vehicle and vehicle roadside wireless communication network. VANET is a new standard that integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other mobile connectivity protocols. The essential requirement of VANET is that it should be able to communicate in any environment irrespective of traffic densities and vehicle locations. Vehicular communications are made in fluctuating environment and should work both in urban and rural areas. Considering the large number of nodes participating in these networks and their high mobility, debates still exist about the feasibility of routing protocols. Analyzes of traditional routing protocols for MANETs demonstrated that their performance is poor in VANETs. The main problem with these protocols in VANETs environments is their route instability. Consequently, many packets are dropped and the overhead due to route repairs or failure notifications increases significantly, leading to low delivery ratios and high transmission delays. This paper introduces a multi-agent system approach to solve the problems mentioned above and improve Vehicular ad-hoc network routing

Customizing Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks to Individual Drivers and Traffic Conditions
This dissertation studies the ability to individualize vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in order to improve safety. Adapting a VANET to both its individual drivers\u27 characteristics and traffic conditions enables it to transmit in a smart manner to other vehicles. This improvement is now possible due to the progress that is being made in VANETs.
To accomplish this adaptation, our approach is to use VANET data to learn drivers\u27 characteristics. This information along with the traffic data, can be used to customize the VANETs to individual drivers. In this dissertation, we show that this process benefits all the drivers by reducing the collision probability of the network of vehicles. Our Monte Carlo simulation results show that this approach achieves more than 25% reduction in traffic collision probability compared to the case with optimized equal vehicular communication access for each vehicle. Therefore, it has a considerable advantage over other systems.
First, we propose a method to estimate the distribution of a driver\u27s characteristics by employing the VANET data. This is essential for our intended application in accident warning systems and vehicular communications.
Second, this estimated distribution and the traffic information are used to adapt the transmission rates of vehicles to each driver\u27s safety level in order to reduce the number of collisions in the network. We derive the packet success probability for a chain of vehicles by taking multi-user interference, path loss, and fading into account. Then, by considering the delay constraints and types of potential collisions, we approximate the required channel access probabilities and illustrate the collision probability.
Third, since the packet success probability and thus communication interference affect the collision probability noticeably, we examine various interference models and their effect on the collision probability with more scrutiny. In our analysis, two signal propagation models with and without carrier sensing are considered for the dissemination of periodic safety messages, and it is illustrated how employing more accurate interference models results in a higher level of safety (lower collision probability)for the network.
Finally, there is an unclear relation between the intensity of an ad hoc network (the number of vehicles in a certain area) and the performance of the system. Hence, we study a reverse approach in which the geometry (intensity) of the unmanned aerial vehicles varies and certain requirements such as safety and coverage need to be satisfied. The numerical results show that safety and interference limits the coverage of the network and there is only a relatively small range of intensities which satisfy all three
