Ubiquitous Computing and Communication Journal 1 VEHICULAR NETWORKS DEPLOYMENT VIEW : APPLICATIONS , DEPLOYMENT ARCHITECTURES AND SECURITY MEANS

Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) is attracting a c onsiderable attention from the research community and the automotive industry, whe re it is beneficial in providing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) a s well as drivers and passengers’ assistant services. In this context, ve hicular networks are emerging as a new class of wireless networks, spontaneously for med between moving vehicles equipped with wireless interfaces that could be of homogeneous or heterogeneous technologies. The recent advances in wireless techn ologies and the current trends in ad hoc networks scenarios allow a number of poss ible architectures for vehicular networks deployment. In this paper, we gi ve a deployment view for vehicular networks illustrating its potential servi ces. We present the possible deployment architectures of these networks and some promising wireless technologies, and we discuss some technical challen ges for the deployment of these networks with a main focus on the security pr oblem.
