Safety, information and multimedia applications support in vehicular communication networks

Vehicular communication networks are of the fastest growing and one of the most attention gaining mobile technologies. This new platform enables a plethora of communication-based automotive applications including road safety, information and multimedia which can make travel more safe and comfortable. At the moment, the main vehicular communication areas which need deeper scientific analysis are: road safety, information and multimedia service support, integration and employment of different wireless technologies, privacy and security in vehicular communication networks. In this work it is investigated road safety, information and multimedia service support opportunities and prospects. It was made deep analysis of literature, presented simulation software analysis. It was made road safety, information and multimedia service support in vehicular communication networks: AODV and ADV ad-hoc routing protocols performance; communication efficiency when sender and recipient are moving in opposite directions in highway; employment of 802.11b, 802.11p ir 802.16e technologies. Also it is presented new trust based authentication scheme for information and multimedia service support safety in vehicular communication
