Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Paperback

by Rodger Kimberley (Author)

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) in Intelligent Transportation Systems examines the principles, architectures, communication technologies, and networking concepts underlying vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. The book explores how VANETs support intelligent transportation by enabling vehicles to exchange information and contribute to connected and data-driven mobility systems. It introduces key concepts in wireless communication, ad hoc networking, vehicular communication, network architecture, routing, data exchange, and intelligent transportation systems. Attention is given to the characteristics of vehicular networks, including mobility, dynamic topology, communication reliability, latency, network connectivity, and resource constraints. The discussion provides a technical foundation for understanding networking approaches used in connected vehicle environments and transportation applications. It also considers the relationship between VANET communication and broader intelligent transportation infrastructure. The book is intended for students, researchers, telecommunications engineers, computer scientists, transportation engineers, and professionals interested in vehicular networking, wireless communications, connected vehicles, intelligent transportation systems, and networked transportation technologies.
