Vehicular Networks [EPUB ebook] 
Models and Algorithms

Over the last few years vehicular networks have been receiving a
lot of attention from academia, industry, standardization bodies,
and the various transportation agencies and departments of many
governments around the world. It is envisaged in the next decade
that the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) will become an
essential part of our daily life. This book describes models and/or
algorithms designed to investigate evolutionary solutions to
overcome important issues such as congestion control, routing,
clustering, interconnection with long-term evolution (LTE) and LTE
advanced cellular networks, traffic signal control and analysis of
performances through simulation tools and the generation of
vehicular mobility traces for network simulations.
It provides an up-to-date progress report on the most significant
contributions carried out by the specialized research community in
the various fields concerned, in terms of models and algorithms.
The proposals and new directions explored by the authors are highly
original, and a rather descriptive method has been chosen, which
aims at drawing up complete states of the art as well as providing
an overall presentation of the personal contributions brought by
the authors and clearly illustrating the advantages and limitations
as well as issues for future work.
