Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) are rapidly\ud
increasing their popularity and ductility, being an essential\ud
element for smart cities and smart driving. Layer three standards\ud
have already been approved, but they do not pursue optimality\ud
in terms of high throughput. This paper aims to identify a new\ud
algorithm to put on top of the standard routing layer, namely\ud
Self hEaling Infotainment and safetY Application (SEIYA), in\ud
order to create a vehicular distributed backbone, able to stay up\ud
as long as possible (thus reducing the election phase overhead).\ud
The main objective is to enable high speed data routes for several\ud
kinds of safety and infotainment applications of a stable vehicular\ud
cloud: traffic monitoring, emergency signals, augmented reality\ud
information are just few examples. Our approach is validated\ud
through simulations on real maps with realistic vehicle flows and\ud
high throughput demands
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
