Due to the growing number of vehicles on the roads worldwide, road traffic accidents are
currently recognized as a major public safety problem. In this context, connected vehicles …

Abstract Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a highly mobile self-organizing network
based on Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and hybrid architecture …

Recent advances in hardware, software, and communication technologies are enabling the
design and implementation of a whole range of different types of networks that are being …

Cooperative vehicular systems have been identified as a promising solution to overcome the
current and future needs for increasing traffic safety and efficiency, while providing …

The authors (see ibid., vol. 43, no. 1, p. 243-53, 1995) have previously explored the use of
novel concentration sensors for detecting and localizing vapor-emitting sources. We …

This work is motivated by network applications that require nodes to disseminate their state
to others. In particular, vehicular nodes will host applications that periodically disseminate …

For safety messages in a vehicular networking environment, strict messaging frequency
requirements exist. For instance, six out of eight cooperative vehicular safety applications, as …

Based on interviews with 20 developers from two case study companies that develop large-
scale software-intensive embedded systems, this paper presents the main factors that affect …

Dissemination of traffic information over multiple hops in vehicular networks requires
scalability measures that prevent network congestion and avoid wasting network capacity …

The periodic generation and transmission of basic safety messages (BSM) place a heavy
burden on the load of a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), where there also remain multiple …
