A novel approach of using security enabled Zigbee in vehicular communication

The current automobile industry aims at using wireless communication to enable intelligence for creating next generation automobiles. The industries are intending to build intelligent transport system a real-time communication system to transmit and receive instant information from a current vehicle and its surrounding. In this direction, the proposed work is to implement Zigbee, an IEEE 802.15.4 standard in automobiles for data communication among the vehicles. The choice of Zigbee is due to its gaining popularity for its features like, low-cost, low-power, controlling and remote monitoring features which works will for inter-vehicular communication applications mainly in short range communication category. The paper presents a design and implementation of Zigbee area network(ZAN) and also pays attention in providing a secure system.
