Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) is an important category of wireless networks that can be configured dynamically without the infrastructure configuration that required in other form of networks. MANETs are able to adjust and reconfigure the connected nodes on the fly according to node movement and changeable network topologies. There are many types of MANETs one of them is Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs). VANETs purpose is to connect the smart vehicles that can be exchange a huge number of data message about the status of roads, the status of environments and the status of passengers. In this study a comprehensive survey on most recent techniques and methods used to VNETs and VSNs. First of all, the Importance of VSNs and its services are summarized. Consequently, a resent challenges in VNs and SVNs are presented, followed by the study for the most existed works that related to the VANETs and VSNs with the most important characteristics that have compared from many aspects are studied and discussed in detail. Finally, our paper presents the tools and simulation programs used to implements and developments them.
