Vehicular networks allow vehicles to communicate with each other (vehicle-to-vehicle) and with roadside infrastructure (vehicle-to-infrastructure). Vehicles act as moving nodes that form a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). Key aspects include dynamic topology, location-based routing protocols, and applications related to safety, traffic management, and infotainment. Communications can be unicast, multicast, or broadcast between vehicles and infrastructure to support functions like electronic brake lights, platooning, and traffic information systems.
