Abstract

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) became a thoroughly studied topic in the last years both by the academic community as well as by the automotive industry stakeholders. Because of their potential to save lives, make the transport more efficient and green, it is very important to understand their specific behavior and to resolve their known issues. This paper aims to study the performance of the VANETs in a very dense traffic conditions by the means of a computer modelling. The scenario in these simulations was deliberately chosen to represent the worst possible communication cases. Even though the communication in such extreme conditions is unlikely to occur in real-life situations, it is vital to find out, where are the communication limits of the VANETs.
