CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER

Title: Wireless Technologies for Intelligent Transportation Systems

(to be published by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.)

Introduction
=============
Great achievements have been made in wireless communication technologies in
recent years in order to meet the increasing needs of high-speed cordless
connections in civil and military applications. The advances include WiFi
(IEEE 802.11), WiMAX (IEEE 802.16), Wireless PAN (IEEE 802.15), sensor
networks, Bluetooth, mesh/ad hoc networks, RFID, mobile IP, mobile
management, smart antenna, Radio-over-fiber, OFDM/OFDMA, MIMO, cooperative
communications, cognitive radio, and so on. These emerging technologies will
significantly impact the design and operation of Intelligent Transportation
Systems (ITS), which aims to effectively provide higher vehicles safety,
traffic management, and communications among vehicles and transport
infrastructure. Currently, governmental institutes and societies in North
America, Europe, Japan, and China, etc., are actively developing advanced
wireless technologies for road, rail and maritime transport systems. For
instance, the Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) band has been
allocated in the USA at 5.9 GHz for vehicle-to-roadside (V2R) and
vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. The IEEE 802.11p working group is
developing enhancements of 802.11 standards to support ITS, vehicular ad hoc
networks (VANETs), vehicular telematics, and infotainment applications.
