Over the past few decades, the growth of the urban population has been remarkable.
Nowadays, 50% of the population lives in urban areas, and forecasts point that by 2050 this …

In this work we propose Delta-r, a new greedy heuristic for solving the allocation of roadside
units in order to meet a Δ ρ2 ρ1-Deployment. The Δ ρ2 ρ1-Deployment is a metric for …

In vehicular networks, deploying a vehicular infrastructure named roadside units (RSU) is a
key solution to improve performance of message dissemination in vehicular ad hoc networks …

Gamma Deployment is a metric for evaluating the distribution of roadside units in vehicular
networks in terms of two parameters: a) the inter-contact time between vehicles and the …

With the increase of the storage capacity, computing, and wireless networking of the
vehicular embedded devices, the vehicular networks bring a potential to enable new …

In this work we investigate the benefits of an hybrid architecture integrating both mobile
roadside units, and stationary roadside units supporting the operation of vehicular networks …

Content delivery is a key functionality for developing the Internet of Vehicles. In such
networks, vehicles act as sensors of the urban mobility by constantly exchanging messages …

This work presents a probabilistic constructive heuristic to design the roadside infrastructure
for information dissemination in vehicular networks. We formulate the problem as a …

The next generation vehicular applications in smart cities, including aided self-driving,
require intricate data processing and quick message exchanges. A pragmatic approach to …

The success of vehicular networks is highly dependent on the coverage of messages, which
refers to the trajectory of messages over time. Many of the existing works primarily performed …
