A Multi‐Domain Perspective of Future Directions for VANETs for Emergency Message Dissemination

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are characterized by a dynamic topology resulting in short‐term and often unreliable connectivity between vehicles. VANETs network communication can be established through dedicated short‐range communication (DSRC) following the IEEE 802.11p standard. The network demonstration with intelligent transportation enables various applications such as reducing road fatalities, improving transportation efficiency, prior emergency aid facility, road event notifications to hospitals, traffic restriction, ambulance alert, nearby pharmacies, crowd‐sourced traffic information, road incidents, public work, firefighters, and outback roads.This chapter provides valuable introduction to the effectiveness of emergency message dissemination in VANETs within the healthcare system. With advancements in technologies, this chapter considers the multi‐domain perspective of VANETs for emergency message dissemination with current facilities and future trends.
