Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)

Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are a type of wireless communication system that enables vehicles to directly connect and share information with each other and nearby infrastructure without relying on fixed networks. This technology enhances road safety, traffic management, and driving experience by allowing vehicles to exchange real-time data about speed, location, accidents, and hazards. VANETs operate dynamically, forming temporary networks as vehicles move, which helps reduce accidents, improve traffic flow, and support autonomous driving systems. They are a key component in the development of intelligent transportation systems aiming for safer and more efficient roads.
