Advanced VANET routing design

Abstract

Cooperative systems play an important role in the field of telematics and automotive industry and they have a huge potential to continuously grow. To ensure proper functioning it is necessary to deal with telecommunication solutions being able to support relevant information dissemination within vehicles networks. There are many different approaches to networking and information distribution in VANET networks. Different approaches can meet partial requirements; however, none of the existing approaches can offer solution being able to meet all key requirements generated by the real traffic. The conclusions of our studies and simulations so far show that an appropriate option must combine Geocast based routing type with centrally operated cluster based support. Such approach also well fits with available telecommunications system architecture applicable for VANET solutions.
