VANET security research and development ecosystem

Every year thousands of people are seriously injured or die in road accidents over the globe. Traffic jam and road accidents are major problems in the current traffic system. These problems directly affect human lives at the road. In this paper, we present the Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) Security R&D Ecosystem is discussed. The R&D Ecosystem can be divided into four major aspects i.e. academic research, car manufacturers, government authorities, and end users. Each aspect is discussed in detail that we hope may help in successful implementation of VANET.
