LOTIR: A Routing Protocol for Multi-hop V-to-I Communication Using Local Traffic Information
Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is an emerging technology that can be applied to safety, transport efficiency, or infotainment applications for roads and highways. However, due to its unique features, such as dynamic mobility patterns and uneven distributions of vehicles, VANET faces many challengi...
