Abstract :
Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a network that is formed when hybrid or modern vehicles with wireless transceivers have the need to communicate with each other. Although VANET shares some similarities with mobile ad hoc network (MANET), the dynamic nature of VANET has posed a challenge for data dissemination between modern hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles. This paper will show detailed literature on a range of VANET systems requirements and implementations such as hardware architecture in a hybrid electric vehicle for inter-vehicle communication and wireless network access technologies. It will also show simulation results on inter-vehicle communications with realistic propagation model and IEEE802.11p for wireless access. IEEE802.11p is a standard that is established specifically for this Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The simulation scenario is based on Manhattan Grid Model to replicate a typical city environment and it is implemented with a different number of vehicle densities.
