Abstract

The VANET should allow only the authentic vehicles to participate in the system for efficient utilization of its available resources. The proposed system architecture contains multiple base stations in the coverage area of a certifying authority. The base station verifies the identification of the vehicle and the certifying authority verifies the authentication of the vehicle using its vehicle identification number. The certifying authority also generates a digital signature for each authentic vehicle and assigns it to the corresponding vehicle through base station. The base station allocates a channel to each authentic vehicle. The channel remains busy as long as the vehicle is within the coverage area of this base station. So the base station is able to track an authentic vehicle by sensing the allocated channel within its coverage area.
