Abstract

The automotive industry has been incorporating several technological advances in vehicles to improve the safety and experience of drivers and passengers. In general, the systems that have grown out of these advances are based on increasingly sophisticated sensors and actuators, which enable vehicles to detect signals in the environment and pass on information to drivers. For this, communication systems are necessary to allow interactions between different vehicles. Communication systems that rely on vehicles as data transmitters and receivers form a so-called vehicular ad hoc network. Vehicular networks are a type of emerging network. Vehicles that compose these networks possess processing and wireless communication capacity, so they move along streets and highways, sending and receiving information from other vehicles. A vehicle with these capabilities can serve as a monitoring and sensing agent, which can help cities to control transportation and traffic better. This chapter describes the concept of smart connected vehicles, as well as the concept and features of a vehicular network.
