This document discusses Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). It describes VANETs as wireless networks that allow communication between vehicles and nearby roadside units to provide connectivity and support intelligent transportation systems. The architecture includes in-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and vehicle-to-cloud communication. Applications include safety features like collision alerts, entertainment like internet access, and services like GPS. Security is a major challenge due to the open network architecture and ensuring authentication, availability, non-repudiation, privacy, and data verification is difficult. Future work is needed to address security and refine VANET technologies.
