Vehicular Area Networking (VANET) is an emerging technology to support a class of applications involving communications between vehicles, and vehicles and the environment. Activity in this area includes development of the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) protocol aimed at enabling vehicles to exchange safety information to enhance awareness of the vehicle beyond the line of sight, and to enhance safety features such as active braking and collision warning. While safety is the primary driver for development, additional applications emerge as potential users of this technology that are more general in nature. Real-time traffic and route updates, traffic monitoring, remote diagnostics, general purpose Internet access and in-car entertainment are examples that require data collection and dissemination analogous to the wired Internet. However, DSRC and related short-range communications technology would appear to be insufficient for these scenarios. In this chapter, we describe, how and under what conditions it is feasible, and in fact desirable, to use short range communications. We describe a network formed over moving vehicles implemented by short-range communication and thereby analyze factors that affect the design and performance. Observations reveal intermittent connectivity between vehicles traveling on the roadway in opposite directions that hinders applications. Techniques adapted from related research in computer networks provide solutions for enabling networking in a fragmented network of moving vehicles. We elaborate and demonstrate analytically the application of techniques that enable networking through short-range communication.
