Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are a type of wireless network that enables vehicles to communicate directly with each other and roadside infrastructure without relying on a fixed central system. This allows for real-time sharing of information such as traffic conditions, accidents, and road hazards. VANETs improve safety, reduce congestion, and enhance driving experiences by enabling vehicles to coordinate and respond quickly to their environment. They are a key component of intelligent transportation systems, supporting smarter, safer roads through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.
