Road safety has become a main issue for governments and car manufacturers in the last twenty years. The development of new vehicular technologies favoured companies, researchers institutions to focus their efforts on improving road safety. During decades, evolution wireless allowed design communication systems where vehicles participate networks. Thus, types networks, such as Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), have been created facilitate between themselves infrastructure. New concepts...
One of the most important goals vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in smart cities is efficient management accidents, specially to prevent them. Our research lies on a promising service, which soon might be available our cities. After occurrence an accident, vehicle could make light and short video situation send it through VANET till reaching access point infrastructure city alert emergencies service (e.g., 911 or 112). With message, level seriousness accident better interpreted by...
This research explores the potential of Machine Learning (ML) to enhance wireless communication networks, specifically in context Wireless Smart Grid Networks (WSGNs). We integrated ML into well-established Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy (RPL), resulting an advanced version called ML-RPL. novel protocol utilizes CatBoost, a Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDT) algorithm, optimize routing decisions. The model, trained on dataset metrics, predicts probability successfully reaching...
In recent years, the general interest in routing for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) has increased notably. Many proposals have been presented to improve behavior of decisions these very changeable networks. this paper, we propose a new protocol VANETs that uses four different metrics. which are distance destination, vehicles’ density, trajectory and available bandwidth, making use information retrieved by sensors vehicle, order make forwarding decisions, minimizing packet losses delay....
Routing in mobile ad hoc networks is based on the cooperation of network's nodes. The presence selfish nodes that do not cooperate this task drastically reduces number delivered packets. In order to find better paths include willing cooperate, we propose a new routing algorithm reputation our proposal, each node locally assigns value rest network and next it uses assigned values out paths, minimize overall packet loss ratio. We assume have stationary behavior, but also mechanism detect...
Vehicular networks support intelligent transportation system (ITS) to improve drivers' safety and traffic efficiency on the road by exchanging traffic-related information between vehicles also infrastructure. Routing protocols that are designed for vehicular should be flexible able adapt inherent dynamic network characteristics of these kind networks. Therefore, there is a need have effective communications, not only make mobility more efficient but reduce collateral issues such as pollution...
Road safety applications envisaged for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) depend largely on the dissemination of warning messages to deliver information concerned vehicles.

Obstacles in Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) urban scenarios are an important issue. Normally, traffic simulators vehicles can send/receive packets between each other if they the same transmission range no matter obstacle is presented or not them. For this reason, checking there sender and receiver goal.
