Abstract

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a promising technology for enabling efficient communication among vehicles and between vehicles and the infrastructure. The proposed work provides a review of the current state of research and development in the field of VANETs. VANETs facilitate the exchange of information related to traffic conditions, road hazards, and other relevant data, enhancing road safety and traffic efficiency and providing various value-added services to drivers and passengers. The unique characteristics of VANETs, such as high mobility, limited communication range, and dynamic network topology, pose several challenges for their efficient operation. This review covers key aspects of VANET research, including communication protocols, routing algorithms, security mechanisms, and applications. Various communication protocols, such as IEEE 802.11p, Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), and Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), have been proposed and evaluated for VANETs.
