Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been attracting an increasing attention from car manufacturers as well as transportation authorities and communications standards organizations. ITS were identified as a key technology to promote increased safety, improve the national transportation infrastructure, and provide sophisticated information service to road users. Since numerous information (i.e. emergency messages, rich media content, infotainment data, etc) is exchanged between vehicles and roadside infrastructure, Vehicle to Vehicle Communications (V2V) and Vehicles to Infrastructure communications (V2I) become two important components of the ITS. In this tutorial, we will highlight wireless access standards in vehicular environment and discuss the quality of service methods and mobility protocols adopted in order to meet the road drivers’ expectation and increase road safety.
