"Driver assistance systems are meant to support drivers with driving process in order to avoid traffic accidents, speed up the traffic and have a higher control over the traffic in general. There are a lot of systems which give support to the drivers, such as adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, automatic parking, etc. ... the vehicular communication systems ... use the capacity of the vehicles to communicate, not only between them but also with infrastructures. All the information is collected and processed to offer use
ful services. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are widely used in this area. With the incoming upgrades of these networks, they are becoming an attractive solution to give support with the communication mechanisms between vehicles."
