Abstract
Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) has become an active area of research due to its major role to improve vehicle and road safety, traffic efficiency, and convenience as well as comfort to both drivers and passengers. This paper thus addresses some of the attributes and challenging issues related to Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). A lot of VANET research work have focused on specific areas including routing, broadcasting, Quality of Service (QoS), and security. In this paper, a detailed overview of the current information gathering and data fusion capabilities and challenges in the context of VANET is presented. In addition, an overall VANET framework, an illustrative VANET scenario are provided in order to enhance safety, flow, and efficiency of the transportation system.
