Abstract

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) have had a massive development over the last few years. The aim of this paper is to discuss different aspects of VANETs, their architecture, emerging applications, radio access technologies, information dissemination and security issues that they face. We give details of traditional and recent architectures and present an overview of use cases and applications brought to attention by various standardization bodies. In addition, we discuss the challenges of existing wireless technologies that support V2X communications and provide a comparison between short-range radio technologies and cellular networking technologies. Lastly, we present several surveys regarding data dissemination and security problems in VANETs.
