Welcome to Philadelphia! This First Workshop on Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANET) marks an important milestone in the advancement of both wireless communications and transportation. While our society is rapidly adopting new and exciting wireless communication applications and technologies, never before have we seriously contemplated real-time, safety-of-life vehicular applications dependant on wireless communications. The VANET vision further intends these safety applications to share the wireless channel with a large, decentralized array of commercial service providers.Today we embark on an exciting journey--partnering academia, industry, and government--to advance the frontiers of mobile wireless networking while increasing traveler safety and the productivity of the worlds' transportation infrastructure. Creating high-performance, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge. Our goal for this conference is to bring you, the leading technologists in the fields of automotive safety and wireless communications, into one room to chart a way forward. As evident in the work on display today, many of you have begun your individual exploration. Today we share what we have learned, forge new alliances and divide and conquer the challenges ahead.The timing of this first VANET Workshop is ideal. Earlier this year, citing the goal of enhancing safety and productivity of the US transportation infrastructure, the United States Federal Communication Commission (FCC) formally promulgated its ruling on Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC). In doing so, the FCC allocated 75 MHz of spectrum in the 5.9 GHz band. Similar rulings have been made in Europe and Japan. We, the emergent VANET research community, should strive to utilize this valuable spectrum to the betterment of our society.

Performance evaluation of safety applications over DSRC vehicular ad hoc networks
In this paper we conduct a feasibility study of delay-critical safety applications over vehicular ad hoc networks based on the emerging dedicated short range communications (DSRC) standard. In particular, we quantify the bit error rate, throughput and ...
Broadcast reception rates and effects of priority access in 802.11-based vehicular ad-hoc networks
One key usage of VANET is to support vehicle safety applications. This use case is characterized by the prominence of broadcasts in scaled settings. In this context, we try to answer the following questions: i) what is the probability of reception of a ...
Vehicle-to-vehicle safety messaging in DSRC
This paper studies the design of layer-2 protocols for a vehicle to send safety messages to other vehicles. The target is to send vehicle safety messages with high reliability and low delay. The communication is one-to-many, local, and geo-significant. ...
Detecting and correcting malicious data in VANETs
In order to meet performance goals, it is widely agreed that vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) must rely heavily on node-to-node communication, thus allowing for malicious data traffic. At the same time, the easy access to information afforded by ...
Efficient attribute authentication with applications to ad hoc networks
We present a family of certification methods with applications to attribute certification, which in turn has ample applications to ad hoc networks by way of the use of centrally managed recommendation mechanisms. Our construction is based on a Merkle ...
MDDV: a mobility-centric data dissemination algorithm for vehicular networks
There has been increasing interest in the exploitation of advances in information technology in surface transportation systems. One trend is to exploit on-board sensing, computing and communication capabilities in vehicles, e.g., to augment and enhance ...
PAVAN: a policy framework for content availabilty in vehicular ad-hoc networks
Advances in wireless communication, storage and processing are realizing next-generation in-vehicle entertainment systems. Even if hundreds of different video or audio titles are stored among several vehicles in an area, only a subset of these titles ...
A study on the feasibility of mobile gateways for vehicular ad-hoc networks
Development in Wireless LAN and Cellular technologies has motivated recent efforts to integrate the two. This creates new application scenarios that were not possible before. Vehicles with Wireless LAN radios can use other vehicles with both Wireless ...
Urban multi-hop broadcast protocol for inter-vehicle communication systems
Inter-Vehicle Communication Systems rely on multi-hop broadcast to disseminate information to locations beyond the transmission range of individual nodes. Message dissemination is especially difficult in urban areas crowded with tall buildings because ...
Analyzing the spread of active worms over VANET
This paper investigates the parameters governing the spread of active worms over VANET. To this end, we first define the average degree of a VANET node using freeway traffic parameters. The spread of a worm in congested and low-density traffic scenarios ...
Empirical determination of channel characteristics for DSRC vehicle-to-vehicle communication
Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) wireless band, allocated by the FCC for vehicular communication, constitutes the basis for one of the first vehicular ad-hoc networks/systems that is likely to be deployed. Therefore, it is important to ...
An inter-vehicle communication MAC protocol supported by roadside communication and its extension
Communication systems between vehicles and roadside facilities are very important for supporting safe driving in ITS. In particular, high reliability should be supported in the lower layer protocols. This paper proposes an inter-vehicle communication ...
Modeling mobility for vehicular ad-hoc networks
Without realistic modeling of node mobility, simulation evaluation of performance of mobile ad hoc networks may not correlate well with performance in a real deployment. In this work, we present a new, realistic model of node motion based on the ...
