Networking, Transport, and Quality of Service in Vehicular Networks

As vehicles become connected through technologies such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), ensuring seamless communication between vehicles, road infrastructure, and data centers is critical. Networking protocols must address the challenges posed by high mobility, dynamic topologies, and varying communication environments. Meanwhile, transport protocols ensure data is reliably delivered with minimal latency, while quality of service (QoS) mechanisms are essential to prioritize critical applications. By optimizing these components, vehicular networks can provide enhanced driver safety, improve traffic management, and support the development of autonomous vehicles, all while meeting the demand for bandwidth and connectivity in intelligent transportation systems. Networking, Transport, and Quality of Service in Vehicular Networks explores the interplay between vehicular communication systems, network infrastructure, transport protocols, and QoS management. It delves into the challenges and opportunities presented by the dynamic nature of vehicular environments, offering insights into effective strategies for ensuring reliable and efficient communication, seamless transport, and optimal quality of service for diverse vehicular applications. This book covers topics such as fuzzy learning, smart cities, and traffic control, and is a useful resource for urban developers, civil engineers, transportation professionals, computer scientists, academicians, and researchers.
