Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication using VANET

Abstract

Every year, traffic accidents involving vehicles result in hundreds of fatalities, serious injuries, and significant material losses. The primary causes of vehicular traffic accidents are infractions of traffic laws. Hence, having a reliable method of identifying violations will result in a decrease in traffic accidents and a reliable traffic control system. The vehicle environment has become one of the hottest study topics for the communications sector as a result of recent developments in telecommunications, computing, and sensor technologies. Computer networking researchers have proposed a new wireless networking concept called Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET), which can increase passenger safety and provide “efficient” road and policy monitoring. This concept aims to reduce the high number of vehicular traffic accidents, improve safety, and manage traffic control systems with high and reliable efficiency. Future VANET-based vehicle applications will include everything from transport automation systems to entertainment and comfort-based ones, making roads safer and better structured.
