Thirty-seven international academics, researchers, and professionals from a variety of fields including computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and
telecommunications contribute 15 chapters providing an overview of the information and communications technologies that are to be deployed in the next generation of vehicles. The text provides
valuable insights into the technologies for vehicular networks and data exchange, from both theoretical and practical standpoints, and is suitable as a reference for graduate-level university
courses and as training material for automotive industry professionals. Coverage includes an overview of vehicular networks in the forms of Intra-Vehicle (InV), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), and
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications; technologies related to InV, V2V, and V2I communications which will enable applications for safety, traffic efficiency, driver assistance, and
infotainment; privacy, security and reliability; simulation architectures; communication-among-vehicles models; vehicle mobility features; and in-vehicle network architectures for the
next-generation vehicles. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
