@inproceedings { , title = {Stable Infrastructure-based routing for Intelligent transportation systems}, abstract = {Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) have been instrumental in reshaping transportation towards safer roads, seamless logistics, and digital business-oriented services under the umbrella of smart city platforms. Undoubtedly, ITS applications will demand stable routing protocols that not only focus on Inter-Vehicle Communications but also on providing a fast, reliable and secure interface to the infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a novel stable infrastructure-based routing protocol for urban VANETs. It enables vehicles proactively to maintain fresh routes towards Road-Side Units (RSUs) while reactively discovering routes to nearby vehicles. It builds routes from highly stable connected intersections using a selection policy which uses a new intersection stability metric. Simulation experiments performed with accurate mobility and propagation models have confirmed the efficiency of the new protocol and its adaptability to continuously changing network status in the urban environment.}, conference = {2015 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)}, doi = {10.1109/ICC.2015.7248849}, isbn = {9781467364324}, note = {Note: Paper presented at IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), London, UK, 8-12 June 2015 School: iidi paper downloaded from ResearchGate LG 10/08/2015}, pages = {3394-3399}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers}, url = {http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/8912}, keyword = {388 Transportation; ground transportation, 621.3821 Communications networks, HE Transportation and Communications, Networks, Centre for Distributed Computing, Networking and Security, AI and Technologies, VANETs, Routing, Inter-vehicle communication;Roadside Units, Carry-and-forward, Geographic forwarding;Smart city;}, year = {2015}, author = {Al-Kubati, Gubran and Al-Dubai, Ahmed and Mackenzie, Lewis and Pezaros, Dimitrios P.} }
