SILVIO aims at providing Internet connectivity in a vehicular scenario like the one shown in Figure 1, in which most vehicles contain several devices demanding connectivity.
Telematics data transmit vehicular information like engine performance, fuel consumption, braking performance, etc.; GPS data continuously relays location; RFID tags are used to track shipments at intermediate hubs and customer data collected at different interfaces.
With a vehicular elevator like that, one could conceal many-a-station wagon, so we decided to do a little automotive fact-checking of our own.
Several routing algorithm have been developed for DTN-like vehicular networks, such as MaxProp [7].
But unlike their pampered Caribbean counterparts, the Down East clunkers are treated like vehicular Kleenex: used roughly, then easily replaced.
Trains and boats are the preferred models when restaurateurs go vehicular, and Harbour, like Oceana and Lure Fishbar before it, emulates a yacht or luxury liner, all gleaming teak and nautical motifs.
In a high-mobility scenario like vehicular network, the survival time of stable connections has great impact to QoS.
In contrast, profiles with a relatively strong second path, like Vehicular A and Vehicular B, lead to significantly lower data rates due to a higher intersymbol interference.
The application of emerging technologies like vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) might help to mitigate some of the adverse effects related to the rising demand.
This would be bad, because nothing sucks the fun out of a fire-shooting octopus encounter like vehicular manslaughter.
