Definition
A self-organized network that uses wireless communication technology to connect mobile vehicles and traffic facilities.
Historical Background
Since early 1980s, wireless communications had been utilized to connect vehicles to support road safety applications. Since there was no wireless communication standard suitable for such scenario, in 1992, dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) was suggested by the American Society to support the wireless communications among vehicles. In 2001, Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) was first introduced (Toh 2002) as an application of the mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). From then on, VANETs had been an independent research field. Latter in 2004, the 802.11p task group in IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) was formed to draft the 802.11p standard, which became the most significant DSRC technology. By July 2010, after 11 revisions, the IEEE 802.11p standard was...
