What is Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs)?
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are networks designed specifically to establish a self-organizing communication system between the vehicles running on the road to allow them to communicate with each other and also with other infrastructure to exchange critical safety information in real-time using wireless communication technologies.This communication can serve for various purposes like:
- Improving traffic safety
- Enhancing traffic efficiency
- Providing infotainment services
VANETs is the technology of cars working together for common dream of making roads smarter and safer for everyone .
SDN for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs)
In recent years there is a rapid evolution in vehicular communication systems which has been a crucial point in the advancement of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) Among these Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as an important component facilitating vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication However, managing the dynamic nature of VANETs poses significant challenges inviting Software-Defined Networking (SDN) to arrive as a promising solution to enhance the performance and efficiency of VANETs.
