There are various research challenges in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that need to be focused until an extensive deployment of it becomes conceivable. Design and development of a scalable routing algorithm for VANETs is one of the critical issue due to frequent path disruptions caused by the vehicle's mobility. This study aims to provide a novel road-aware routing protocol for vehicular networks named as Two-level hierarchical Hybrid Road-Aware (THERA) routing for vehicular ad hoc networks. The proposed protocol is designed explicitly for inter-vehicle communication. In THERA, roads are distributed into non-overlapping road segments to reduce the routing overhead. Unlike other protocols, discovery process does not flood the network with packet broadcasts. Instead, THERA uses the concept of Gateway Vehicles (GV) for the discovery process. In addition, a route between source and destination is flexible to changing topology, as THERA only requires road segment ID and destination ID for the communication. Furthermore, Road-Aware routing reduces the traffic congestion, bypasses the single point of failure, and facilitates the network management. Finally yet importantly, this paper also proposes a probabilistical model to estimate a path duration for each road segment using the highway mobility model. The flexibility of the proposed protocol is evaluated by performing extensive simulations in NS3. We have used SUMO simulator to generate real time vehicular traffic on the roads of Gangnam, South Korea. Comparative analysis of the results confirm that routing overhead for maintaining the network topology is smaller than few previously proposed routing algorithms.

VANET(Vehicular Ad Hoc Network)은 MANET(Mobile Ad Hoc Network)의 일종으로 기지국과 같은 기반시설의 도움 없이 차량 간의 무선 통신을 통해 구성되는 임시적인 네트워크이다. VANET은 차량들의 고속 이동성이나 차량 간 밀도 변화로 인해 빈번한 링크 단절 및 네트워크 토폴로지 변화 등을 야기한다. 이러한 VANET의 특성으로 인해 기존의 MANET에서 사용되는 AODV와 DSR과 같은 경로기반 라우팅 프로토콜보다는 주변 노드의 정보만을 이용하는 GPSR(Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing)과 같은 지리기반 라우팅 프로토콜이 매우 적합하다. 그러나 GPSR은 차량 노드의 밀도가 낮은 환경에서는 잦은 링크 단절과 반복적인 로컬 맥시멈으로 인해 전송지연 및 데이터 손실이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차량의 밀도가 낮은 VANET 환경에서 효율적인 라우팅을 수행하기 위해 2-hop 이웃 노드의 존재가 없는 경우에 DTN 기반의 라우팅을 수행하는 DTVR(Delay Tolerant Vehicular Routing) 알고리즘을 제안한다. ns-2를 이용한 성능분석 결과 제안된 DTVR 프로토콜이 차량 밀도가 낮은 환경에서 기존 라우팅 프로토콜보다 성능이 우수함을 입증하였다.

지능형 교통 시스템(ITS) 구축을 위한 기반 기술 중 하나인 차량통신망은 다수의 차량들이 무선 통신을 기반으로 자율적으로 네트워킹을 형성하는 차세대 네트워킹 기술이다. 현재 차량통신망과 관련된 많은 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있으며 이 중에서도 특히 차량의 높은 이동성을 지원하기 위한 기법들이 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 기존의 호스트 기반 IP 이동성 관리 기법의 경우 이동성 관리에 따른 부하가 이동 단말에서 야기되는 문제가 있다. 따라서 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 망 기반 이동성 관리 기법인 PMIPv6(Proxy Mobile IPv6)가 제안되었다. PMIPv6는 단말의 이동성 관리 부하를 줄이고 이동성 관리 지연 시간을 줄임으로써 차세대 이동성 관리 기법으로 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고속의 이동성과 원거리 이동 범위를 가지는 차량통신망에서 PMIPv6 구현을 위한 시나리오를 도출하고 이를 가능하게 하는데 필수적으로 요구되는 LMA(Local Mobility Anchor)간 핸드오버 기법을 제안한다. 또한 ns-2를 이용한 제안 기법의 구현을 통하여 제안 기법의 동작성을 증명하였다.

We address the problem of effective vehicular routing in hostile scenarios where malicious nodes intend to jeopardize the delivery of messages. Compromised vehicles can severely affect the performance of the network by a number of attacks, such as selectively dropping messages, manipulating them on the fly, and the likes. One of the best performing solutions that has been used in static wireless sensor networks to deal with these attacks is based on the concept of watchdog nodes (also known as guard nodes) that collaborate to continue the forwarding of data packets in case a malicious behavior in a neighbor node is detected. In this work, we consider the beacon-less routing algorithm for vehicular environments routing protocol, which has been previously shown to perform very well in vehicular networks, and analyze whether a similar solution would be feasible for vehicular environments. Our simulation results in an urban scenario show that watchdog nodes are able to avoid up to a 50% of packet drops across different network densities and for different number of attackers, without introducing a significant increase in terms of control overhead. However, the overall performance of the routing protocol is still far from optimal. Thus, in the case of vehicular networks, watchdog nodes alone are not able to completely alleviate these security threats.

무인 자동차의 시대가 도래하면서, 차량 간 통신 네트워크인 Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork(VANET)의 중요성이 점점 더해지고 있다. 지금까지 VANET의 연구가 많이 진행되었으나, 기존의 연구는 각 자동차의 통신적인 측면만 연구하고, 차량에 설치된 On Board Unit(OBU)의 계산 능력, 저장 공간 등을 효율적으로 사용하지 못하는 한계점이 있었다. 그러나 최근 나온 VANET cloud computing(VCC) 개념은 높아진 각 자동차의 능력을 효율적으로 이용하여, 유용하게 사용하는 것에 초점을 맞추어 이러한 한계점을 해결하였다. 그러나 지금까지 진행된 연구에서는 VCC의 초기 클라우드 생성 부분과 사용자 추가 부분의 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문은 이러한 부분을 보완한, VCC 아키텍처를 제안한다.

In recent decades, the ad hoc network for vehicles has been a core network technology to provide comfort and security to drivers in vehicle environments. However, emerging applications and services require major changes in underlying network models and computing that require new road network planning. Meanwhile, blockchain widely known as one of the disruptive technologies has emerged in recent years, is experiencing rapid development and has the potential to revolutionize intelligent transport systems. Blockchain can be used to build an intelligent, secure, distributed and autonomous transport system. It allows better utilization of the infrastructure and resources of intelligent transport systems, particularly effective for crowdsourcing technology. In this paper, we proposes a vehicle network architecture based on blockchain in the smart city (Block-VN). Block-VN is a reliable and secure architecture that operates in a distributed way to build the new distributed transport management system. We are considering a new network system of vehicles, Block-VN, above them. In addition, we examine how the network of vehicles evolves with paradigms focused on networking and vehicular information. Finally, we discuss service scenarios and design principles for Block-VN.

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) facilities envision future Intelligent Transporting Systems (ITSs) by providing inter-vehicle communication for metrics such as road surveillance, traffic information, and road condition. In recent years, vehicle manufacturers, researchers and academicians have devoted significant attention to vehicular communication technology because of its highly dynamic connectivity and self-organized, decentralized networking characteristics. However, due to VANET's high mobility, dynamic network topology and low communication coverage, dissemination of large data packets (e.g. multimedia content) is challenging. Clustering enhances network performance by maintaining communication link stability, sharing network resources and efficiently using bandwidth among nodes. This paper proposes a mobility-based, multi-hop clustering algorithm, (MBCA) for multimedia content broadcasting over an IEEE 802.11p-LTE-enabled hybrid VANET architecture. The OMNeT++ network simulator and a SUMO traffic generator are used to simulate a network scenario. The simulation results indicate that the proposed clustering algorithm over a hybrid VANET architecture improves the overall network stability and performance, resulting in an overall 20% increased cluster head duration, 20% increased cluster member duration, lower cluster overhead, 15% improved data packet delivery ratio and lower network delay from the referenced schemes [46], [47] and [50] during multimedia content dissemination over VANET.

Neural networks are explored as an alternative to a regres-sion model for prediction of the number of daily household vehicular trips. This study focuses on contrasting a neural network model with a regression model in term of variable selection as well as the appli-cation of these models for prediction of extreme observations, The differences in the models regarding data transformation variable selec-tion and multicollinearity are considered. The results indicate that the neural network model is a viable alternative to the regression model for addressing both messy data problems and limitation in variable structure specification.

Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a dedicated network to connect vehicles without any centralized administration or infrastructure. The wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) protocol leveraging IEEE 1609/802.11p is widely implemented for VANETs. However, in congested traffic situation, the performance of the WAVE system degrades significantly due to serious collision, especially for safety related broadcast services on the control channel (CCH) interval due to the inherent drawback of its collision avoidance mechanisms called carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). In this paper, we propose a method that can decrease the number of frame collisions in CCH with a few modifications to the IEEE 802.11p protocol. In the paper, vehicles still employ CSMA/CA to compete for the channel access opportunity. However, by taking advantage of periodicity of synchronization interval, a two-state switching scheme introducing two new inter frame space (IFS) is proposed to reduce the number of competing vehicles substantially and as a result, the collision probability is significantly decreased. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in packet collision rate.
