VANETs, a specialized form of mobile ad hoc networks, are rapidly evolving with embedded sensors and wireless communication, offering safety, efficiency, and public collaboration benefits, but face challenges such as dynamic topology, intermittent connectivity, QoS requirements, and privacy‑safety conflicts. The study aims to present a comprehensive view of VANETs focusing on communication and application challenges. The authors survey the communication and application challenges of VANETs, highlighting their unique characteristics and implications.
VANETs have emerged as an exciting research and application area. Increasingly vehicles are being equipped with embedded sensors, processing and wireless communication capa- bilities opening a myriad of possibilities for powerful and potential life changing applications on safety, efficiency, comfort, public collaboration and participation while they are on the road. Al- though, considered a special case of a Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, VANETS hold a vital feature - the possibility to affect people's life or death decisions. Due to the particular characteristics, from highly dynamic topology to intermittent connectivity, VANETs have great challenges lie ahead, to mention a few: different application QoS requirements, and conflicting privacy and safety issues. In this paper, a view of VANETs is presented from the communication and application challenges perspective.
