During the last decade there has been an essential development of wireless communication technologies for intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications for motor transport; these advanced infocommunication technologies are called vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). VANET/ITS, in particular, inform and warn drivers about possible obstacles, and also the possibility of how to organize coordinated actions. Therefore, any violation of its functioning by cyber attacks automatically influences the safety of people and automotive engineering on the road. The purpose of this article is to provide an analytical overview of cyber attacks on VANET/ITS, presented in state-of-the-art publications on this topic by the prediction of its cyber resistance. We start with an analysis of the top 10 cyber threats, considered according to the following schemes: attack mechanism, vulnerability, damage, object of attack, and a counter measure. We then set out a synergistic approach for assessing the cyber resistance of the forward-looking VANET/ITS conceptual model, formed by the merger of the internet of vehicles and software-defined networking technology. Finally, we identify open issues and associated research opportunities, the main ones being the formalization of threats, vulnerability stratification, the choice of the level of network management centralization and, last but not least, the modeling and prediction of VANET/ITS cyber resistance.

This paper propose a method to design an “Intelligent Transportation System” for forecasting wireless communication network issues with cyber attacks. Wireless communication networks(WCN) is a broadly classified and critical gateway for any communication devices because the wireless communication networks is operated at various frequency ranges in different locations. In order to maintain its performance and also to prevent any attacks due to its high data handling, we need an Intelligent transportation system (ITS) to analyse and detect the cyber-attacks before going to implement it in real time transportation. In general wireless communication networks is an IEEE 802.11 standard which can be operated at physical Transfer control protocol/Internet protocol(TCP/IP) layer as well OSI model. In this paper a novel approach to design, analyse and detect cyber-attacks is proposed for wireless communication networks transport system, called Intelligent transportation system (ITS) based cyber-attack detection. Stacked firewall system is used for reducing fake attacks and detecting real time attacks in transportation system. Hence any fake attacks or real time attacks captured by the ITS will be informed to the system controller to make decision to whether it is a false-positive or real attack. ITS is the main process of the stacked firewall system which in turn take responsible to control, maintain, and prevent any cyber-attack.

In Indian four-lane express highway, millions of vehicles are travelling every day. Accidents are unfortunate and frequently occurring in these highways causing deaths, increase in death toll, and damage to infrastructure. A mechanism is required to avoid such road accidents at the maximum to reduce the death toll. An Emergency Situation Prediction Mechanism, a novel and proactive approach, is proposed in this paper for achieving the best of Intelligent Transportation System using Vehicular Ad Hoc Network. ESPM intends to predict the possibility of occurrence of an accident in an Indian four-lane express highway. In ESPM, the emergency situation prediction is done by the Road Side Unit based on (i) the Status Report sent by the vehicles in the range of RSU and (ii) the road traffic flow analysis done by the RSU. Once the emergency situation or accident is predicted in advance, an Emergency Warning Message is constructed and disseminated to all vehicles in the area of RSU to alert and prevent the vehicles from accidents. ESPM performs well in emergency situation prediction in advance to the occurrence of an accident. ESPM predicts the emergency situation within 0.20 seconds which is comparatively less than the statistical value. The prediction accuracy of ESPM against vehicle density is found better in different traffic scenarios.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are wireless communication networks which support cooperative driving among vehicles on the road. The specific characteristics of VANETs favor the development of attractive and challenging services and applications which rely on message exchanging among vehicles. These communication capabilities depend directly on the existence of nearby vehicles able to exchange information. Therefore, higher vehicle densities favor the communication among vehicles. However, vehicular communications are also strongly affected by the topology of the map (i.e., wireless signal could be attenuated due to the distance between the sender and receiver, and obstacles usually block signal transmission). In this paper, we study the influence of the roadmap topology and the number of vehicles when accounting for the vehicular communications capabilities, especially in urban scenarios. Additionally, we consider the use of two parameters: the SJ Ratio (SJR) and the Total Distance (TD), as the topology-related factors that better correlate with communications performance. Finally, we propose the use of a new density metric based on the number of vehicles, the complexity of the roadmap, and its maximum capacity. Hence, researchers will be able to accurately characterize the different urban scenarios and better validate their proposals related to cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems based on vehicular communications.

Vehicles have a very crucial role in our routine life; we use different kinds of transportation in our living world, massive increasing vehicle on the road insisting serious problem such as traffic jam, vehicle congestion, road accidents, the demand for more fuel etc., to subdue the all those problems, the technology has used which is called VANET (Vehicular ad-hoc networks) VANET is self-organized wireless network when it has demanded to make communication between vehicles to vehicles and vehicles to infrastructure. VANET successfully implements the intelligent transportation system (ITS), even the vehicles having short-range networks. Due to the rapid change of network topology, the VANET installation is challengeable on the vehicles. To give a safe drive and reduce car accidents, the communication among drivers of vehicles and roadside devices makes sure that should be authenticated; any wrong modification (or) correction in real-time communication may create system failure and affect road safety. This article provides a brief description of various challenging issues in VANET and presents some existing solutions for these problems. Later, we discussed the current status of research and future goals. With this article, researchers and academicians can have a more detailed VANET and research trends in this emerging field.


Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) is evolving into highly developed systems that improve driver experience in terms of security and offer much-needed tranquility on the roads as well. VANET makes it possible for a vehicle to communicate, (vehicle to vehicle communication) V2V, beyond its visual coverage region for an advance alert. Vehicle accident alert depends on data received from sensors, cameras, onboard units, wireless communication, global positioning systems, and Roadside Units (RSU) placed on equidistance along the roads. It collects data from all entities, i.e., RSUs or OBU, and processes it, leading decisions subsequently. In V2V communication, vehicles support different services such as declaring an accident with their exact coordinates and traffic status updates. In this paper, a protocol is discussed and reviewed and studied about onvehicle wireless communication capabilities in terms of handling accident alerts for road safety applications. Accident detection in an early stage can help in saving life on the road and enhance medical support probability. Providing the accurate time of accident and locality to the approaching vehicles to reduce down further mishaps on the road. This proposed protocol is flexible enough to adapt real-time environmental adjustments, including road density and speed, traffic state, and network dynamics.

Many people lose their life and/or are injured due to accidents or unexpected events taking place on road networks. Besides traffic jams, these accidents generate a tremendous waste of time and fuel. Undoubtedly, if the vehicles are provided with timely and dynamic information related to road traffic conditions, any unexpected events or accidents, the safety and efficiency of the transportation system with respect to time, distance, fuel consumption and environmentally destructive emissions can be improved. In the field of computer and information science, Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) have recently emerged as an effective tool for improving road safety through propagation of warning messages among the vehicles in the network about potential obstacles on the road ahead. VANET is a research area which is in more demand among the researchers, the automobile industries and scientists to discover about the loopholes and advantages of the vehicular networks so that efficient routing algorithms can be developed which can provide reliable and secure communication among the mobile nodes.In this paper, we propose a Groundwork Based Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol (GAODV) focus on how the Road Side Units (RSU’s) utilized in the architecture plays an important role for making the communication reliable. In the interval of finding the suitable path from source to destination the packet loss may occur and the delay also is counted if the required packet does not reach the specified destination on time. So to overcome delay, packet loss and to increase throughput GAODV approach is followed. The performance parameters in the GAODV comes out to be much better than computed in the traditional approach.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) provide information and entertainment to drivers for safe and enjoyable driving. Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) is designed for VANETs to provide services efficiently. In particular, infotainment services are crucial to leverage market penetration and deployment costs of the WAVE standard. However, a low presence of infrastructure results in a shadow zone on the road and a link disconnection. The link disconnection is an obstacle to providing safety and infotainment services and becomes an obstacle to the deployment of the WAVE standard. In this paper, we propose a cooperative communication protocol to reduce performance degradation due to frequent link disconnection in the road environment. The proposed protocol provides contention-free data delivery by the coordination of roadside units (RSUs) and can provide the network QoS. The proposed protocol is shown to enhance throughput and delay through the simulation.

Anti-jamming games have become a popular research topic. However, there are not many publications devoted to such games in the case of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). We considered a VANET anti-jamming game on the road using a realistic driving model. Further, we assumed the quadratic power function in both vehicle and jammer utility functions instead of the standard linear term. This makes the game model more realistic. Using mathematical methods, we expressed the Nash equilibrium through the system parameters in single-channel and multi-channel cases. Since the network parameters are usually unknown, we also compared the performance of several reinforcement learning algorithms that iteratively converge to the Nash equilibrium predicted analytically without having any information about the environment in the static and dynamic scenarios.
