Abstract:Increasing the use of information technology (IT) in future vehicles can solve or mitigate many of the fundamental problems we face today in transportation such as energy efficiency, reduced carbon footprint for cars, greener environment, and several others. Note that the premise of the proposed work here lies in the technology known as vehicle-to-vehicle communications. Vehicles are assumed to be equipped with communications devices which allow them to communicate among themselves. A group of equipped vehicles thus form a vehicular ad hoc network which is a special application of wireless ad hoc networks with different constraints [2-9]. Specifically, the focus of the proposed work is on making vehicles more intelligent for increasing safety at intersections, mitigating congestion, reducing the commute time of urban workers, increasing productivity of the USA (as well as other countries), increasing the energy efficiency of cars, reducing the carbon footprint of cars, and supporting a greener environment.
