Options to Broadcast Information in VANET

Abstract

To ensure traffic flow and its safety, it is necessary for the vehicle and its crew to dispose in- formation about current road conditions. One of the common approaches is broadcasting in VANET (Vehic- ular Ad hoc NETwork). In VANET, broadcast can be used to exchange information between several types of nodes, especially between vehicles, but also Road Side Units (RSUs). However, the most important is to en- sure the exchange of information between the vehicles. This article introduces design and implementation of a new solution to broadcast in these networks between vehicles only. The approach entitled BBPiV-v1 (Basic Broadcasting Protocol in VANET - version 1 is based on IEEE 802.11p standard and its efficacy has been demonstrated using the simulation tools
