Abstract
A vehicular ad hoc network consists of smart vehicles on the road and provides communication services among nearby vehicles or with roadside infrastructure. It is envisioned to provide numerous interesting services in the near future. This chapter first introduces the basic application scenarios of vehicular ad hoc network and its unique characteristics, and then provides a brief survey of several research issues in vehicular ad hoc networks, such as routing, data sharing, mobility models, and security.

Notes
- 1.
Hereafter, the terms “vehicle” and “node” are used interchangeably.
- 2.
Some papers refer it as traffic model, however, to distinguish it from the network traffic model, mobility model is used in this chapter.
