Abstract(s)
Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) support the development of safety and infotainment applications, allowing vehicles to communicate between each other and with the infrastructure, assuring their connection and of its occupants to the Internet These VANETs may rely on different technologies for their deployment, such as IEEE 802.11p/WAVE, C-V2X or Wi-Fi; however, complete coverage and full connectivity may not be assured. This work integrates, in a seamless approach, an additional communication interface via cellular networks into an existing VANET with mobility and multihoming support in order to increase its connection availability. The proposed solution makes use of commercial cellular networks without the need of any contribution by network providers, and maintaining transparency to the end-user. The validation and evaluation of the proposed solution was performed with a real network in real- world scenarios. The results showed that the proposed approach is able to maintain and increase the VANET connectivity.
