商品描述

In spite of their importance and potential societal impact, there is currently no comprehensive source of information about vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Cohesively integrating the state of the art in this emerging field, Vehicular Networks: From Theory to Practice elucidates many issues involved in vehicular networking, including traffic engineering, human factors studies, and novel computer science research.

 

Divided into six broad sections, the book begins with an overview of traffic engineering issues, such as traffic monitoring and traffic flow modeling. It then introduces governmental and industrial efforts in the United States and Europe to set standards and perform field tests on the feasibility of vehicular networks. After highlighting innovative applications enabled by vehicular networks, the book discusses several networking-related issues, including routing and localization. The following section focuses on simulation, which is currently the primary method for evaluating vehicular networking systems. The final part explores the extent and impact of driver distraction with in-vehicle displays.

 

Encompassing both introductory and advanced concepts, this guide covers the various areas that impact the design of applications for vehicular networks. It details key research challenges, offers guidance on developing future standards, and supplies valuable information on existing experimental studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

儘管車輛自組網路(VANETs)的重要性和潛在社會影響,目前還沒有一個全面的資訊來源。《從理論到實踐的車輛網路》整合了這個新興領域的最新技術,闡明了車輛網路中涉及的許多問題,包括交通工程、人因研究和新穎的計算機科學研究。

本書分為六個大範疇,首先概述了交通工程問題,如交通監測和交通流建模。然後介紹了美國和歐洲政府和工業界在設定標準和進行現場測試以評估車輛網路可行性方面的努力。在介紹了車輛網路所帶來的創新應用後,本書討論了幾個與網路相關的問題,包括路由和定位。接下來的部分專注於模擬,這是目前評估車輛網路系統的主要方法。最後一部分探討了車輛內顯示器對駕駛者分心程度的影響和範圍。

本指南涵蓋了介紹性和高級概念,涉及影響車輛網路應用設計的各個領域。它詳細介紹了關鍵的研究挑戰,提供了未來標準開發的指導,並提供了有關現有實驗研究的寶貴信息。
