Abstract The increasing number of road accidents and more frequent traffic congestion have resulted in the evolution of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) [6] and other mobile distributed applications which improve road safety, increase transportation efficiency, and provide on-board infotainment. On the other hand, the rapid advancement of wireless communication technology and automotive industries have led to the paradigm of vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) as a promising approach to provide a communication infrastructure supporting ITS and other on-board applications, primarily to improve road safety. In VANETs, vehicles are equipped with various onboard sensors, which gather information, and communication devices, which provide networking interface to exchange the gathered information through wireless medium. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the United States Department of Transportation (USDoT), traffic accidents, specifically unimpaired vehicle crashes, can be reduced by approximately 80% through the deployment of road safety applications enabled by VANETs [7]. In addition, comfort related applications such as gaming, automatic toll collection, drive-thru Internet connections, multimedia services are expected to be delivered to vehicles for their drivers and passengers, providing on-board infotainment services [8–10].
