Information Technology Journal1812-56381812-5646Asian Network for Scientific Information10.3923/itj.2013.243.250JavadiM.S. HabibS. HannanM.A. 22013122Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) has presented a promising
role in vehicular technology to fulfill a variety of applications to improve
safety and traffic flow. This article outlines IVC taxonomy, applications and
challenges. Current trends of vehicular communication technologies are explained
including classification, functions, applications, missions, requirements, advantages
and disadvantages, respectively. Many IVC applications have been investigated
from the literature to provide safe, comfortable and reliable vehicular operations.
In this article, the recent research trends and development activities in inter-vehicle
communications have been critically reviewed, emphasizing the areas where further
work is needed. It is found that the continuous developing technology will certainly
push the future market of high-quality IVC systems. However, the issues and
challenges of the existing IVC system such as data aggregation, distribution,
hardware/software compatibility, nodes density, security, mobility, market,
etc. are highlighted to future system development. Thus, this study will lead
the increasing need to develop new and improved IVC technology for many applications.]]>Au, M.H., Q. Wu, W. Susilo and Y. Mu,20064377178195Bechler, M., S. Jaap and L.
