Abstract

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) provide a set of standards for vehicular communications. The main focus of research activities, within ITS, has been on development of safety, traffic efficiency and infotainment related applications. Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications are the main research goals of ITS. This paper reviews some popular architectures of VANETs (Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks) i.e., WAVE by IEEE, CALIM by ISO, C2CNet by C2C consortium / GeoNet. It also includes some recent research regarding these standards, specially focusing on Network and MAC layer issues. This paper also discusses safety related application protocols, i.e. WSMP by WAVE, CALM FAST by ISO and C2CNet by C2C consortium. Various recommendations regarding the above protocol stacks are presented. The recommendations are based on different parameters like flexibility, implementation etc.
