"NoW - Network on Wheels" : Project Objectives, Technology and Achievements

NoW – Network on Wheels is a German research project carried out by major car manufacturers, suppliers, research institutes and universities, and supported by the German government. The project develops a vehicular communication system for car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communication based on ad hoc principles and wireless LAN technology for road safety and infotainment applications. The paper (i) gives a project overview and recalls its motivation, (ii) outlines the developed system and technology, and (iii) summarizes the project achievements.1
