Vehicular networks allow drivers
and passengers in moving vehicles
to communicate from vehicle to vehicle,
or from vehicle to a existing
infrastructure, without the need
for additional hardware. The main
goals for these networks are to improve
road safety and transportation
efficiency. This article briefly
describes the state-of-the-art and
new achievements in the vehicular
network field, and shows the analysis
of the behavior of such networks
through the use of simulation models
deployed in the NCTUns simulation
tool, considering the layout of typical
cities in Colombia.
