Current Technologies in Vehicular Communication

This book provides a concise and comprehensive overview of vehicular communication technologies. It classifies all relevant standards, protocols and applications, so as to enable the reader to gain a holistic approach towards the subject of vehicular communications. The primary methods are algorithmic processes and simulation results.First, an overview and classification of vehicular technologies is presented. Then, the book focuses on specific applications of V2V and V2I communications. Special attention is given to recent research and development results regarding R&D projects in the field, in cooperation with car manufacturing companies and universities at a global level.Designed to facilitate understanding of vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure technologies, this textbook is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students of vehicular communications or mobile networks.

Maximizes the reader insight into vehicular communications Treats both theoretical and practical aspects related to sustainable mobility, V2V and V2I communications Includes cases that illustrate the importance of vehicular networks in urban quality of life Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
