Protocols and Techniques for Data Dissemination in ITS 
Prof. Falko Dressler
University of Innsbruck, Austria

Much progress can be observed in the domain of Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC), looking back at the last decade. The objectives of this lecture are twofold: In the first part, an introduction to recent developments in the field of IVC protocols and the used methods is provided. In the second part, we look at selected examples including the most recently presented Adaptive Traffic Beacon (ATB) protocol. Read more
