Abstract

Information Technologies are called to play an important role in the world of transport services. One example is the combination between mobile Internet and automotive industry. This research is focused on the design of a new automotive network architecture called TrafficNet which, using IEEE 802.3 and 802.11 technologies, intends to support not only wireless communications to any type of vehicle driving along a circulatory route but also traffic management and road security services to the people in charge of the circulatory route. Results show that wired and wireless LAN technologies, together with new automotion-related protocols for optimization, can be used for high mobility applications in this type of network architecture.
