Abstract

The Fleetnet project aims at the development of a wireless ad hoc network for inter-vehicle communications. We present the rationale behind the choice of an appropriate radio hardware and the use of a position-based routing approach and outline applications to exploit the Fleetnet platform. In addition, we discuss simulation of vehicle movements as a basis for protocol evaluation as well as aspects of Internet integration of Fleetnet. We state the basic problems together with the intended approach of tackling these challenges, thereby providing an overview of the Fleetnet project
