INTRODUCTION
Vehicular Communication Systems are an
emerging type of networks in which
vehicles and roadside units are the
communicating nodes; providing each
other with information, such as safety
warnings and traffic information.

VANETs (Vehicular ad hoc networks)
Communication schemes in VANETs. (a) Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), (b) Vehicle-to-
Infrastructure (V2I) and Infrastructure-to-Vehicle (I2V).
Wireless Technologies for inter-
vehicle comm.
Advantages of choosing 3G
Penetration
Coverage
Data rates
High speed (uplink/downlink)packet
access

ENABLERS
Location service
Multimedia broadcast/multicast service
Identity Provider
Terminal Capabilities
Location Service
Periodically obtains the position of the
terminals through the network and offers
location info. to services.
Multimedia Broadcast/multicast
Service(MBMS)
Enables operators to define broadcast and
multicast services for geographical areas at fine
granularity.
Can be offered via existing GSM and 3G cellular
networks.
Flexible
Cost-effective
Identity Provider
A trusted entity for identity management.
The real identity of users is protected.
Can work with multiple authentication
mechanisms such as user/password,
certificates, and SIM-card based.
Terminal Capabilities
Provides characteristics of the user
terminals to services.
Device identifier is used to interrogate this
enabler.
Info like multimedia features, comm.
technologies, firmware versions,
model,etc. are obtained.
How VANET routing is
improved using 3G Capabilities?
BENEFITS for VANET
Offer advantages to multi-hop routing.
Helps exploit available info. regarding the
scenario and other vehicles.
Helps find the most appropriate list of streets
connecting the source and destination.
Can provide real time info about which streets
have enough connectivity to facilitate packet
forwarding.
Geocasting forwarding schemes. unicast (A), broadcast (B)
and topologically scoped broadcast (C).

( ehicular comm.
mprovement olution based on
MS Operational odes and
ervices)
Has modules located in vehicles and the
operator infrastructure.


ONBOARD MODULES
Collects info of the vehicles and send to the server.
Enriches routing mechanisms with road situation info.

Vehicular Information Base(VIB) :Stores updated data of
the nodes in the area where the vehicle is.
Terminal capabilities client: obtains attributes like vehicle
ID, VANET IP address, 3G IP address,estimated route of the
vehicle, etc., stores them and sends them to the TC enabler.
Location client: periodically obtains info from the GPS
receiver(position, speed, direction,etc.), stores it and sends
to the location server enabler.
MBMS receiver: gets info about other cars and stores it in
the VIB.
Prediction module:estimates the position of the nodes
when required.
Antenna placement with 8 active OBUs on one vehicle
INFRASTRUCTURE MODULES
Collects data from the vehicles, processes it and sends
back the aggregated info to the vehicles.
Location server:collects speed, position, direction, etc.
and stores in database.
Terminal capabilities enabler: collection and storage of
rest of the attributes.
PHOTO adapter: accesses location and TC enablers for
retrieving info in order to generate PHOTOS.
MBMS enabler: efficiently distributes PHOTOs to all the
vehicles inside the specified region.
Operation of VISIONS
Advantages of VISIONS
Helps make more accurate routing
decisions.
Achieves higher delivery ratio.
Does not require much bandwidth.

Conclusion and Future Work
Opens up an interesting research direction.
Can help other applications in the
vehicular environment.
