Vehicular Networks

Cohesively integrating the state of the art in this emerging field, this guide presents many issues involved in vehicular networking, including traffic engineering, human factors studies, and novel computer science research. It covers traffic monitoring and traffic flow modeling, innovative applications enabled by vehicular networks, routing and localization, and simulation. The book also introduces governmental and industrial efforts in the United States and Europe to set standards and perform field tests on the feasibility of vehicular networks. The final part explores the extent and impact of driver distraction with in-vehicle displays.
