Intelligent vehicular ad-hoc networks (InVANETs) use WiFi IEEE 802.11p(WAVE standard)and WiMAX IEEE
802.16 for easy and effective communication between vehicles with dynamic mobility. Effective measures such as
media communication between vehicles can be enabled as well methods to track automotive vehicles. InVANET is
not foreseen to replace current mobile (cellular phone) communication standards .
"Older" designs within the IEEE 802.11 scope may refer just to IEEE 802.11b/g. More recent designs refer to the
latest issues of IEEE 802.11p (WAVE, draft status). Due to inherent lag times, only the latter one in the IEEE 802.11
scope is capable of coping with the typical dynamics of vehicle operation.
Automotive vehicular information can be viewed on electronic maps using the Internet or specialized software. The
advantage of WiFi based navigation system function is that it can effectively locate a vehicle which is inside big
campuses like universities, airports, and tunnels. InVANET can be used as part of automotive electronics, which has
to identify an optimally minimal path for navigation with minimal traffic intensity. The system can also be used as a
city guide to locate and identify landmarks in a new city.
