Abstract: We have witnessed recently the significant progress in research and implementation of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), which emerges as a promising approach to improve road safety, facilitate vehicle traffic management, and support infotainment applications. In this presentation, we discuss state-of-the-art research and experiments of VANETs carried out at the BBCR Lab, University of Waterloo. First, we highlight some research results including VANETs capacity analysis, content distribution, MAC protocol design, data offloading, heterogeneous networks accessing, and ITS applications. Then, we demonstrate some real world VANETs experiments and implementations conducted in BBCR Lab. Finally, we show our proposed Space-Air-Ground Integrated VANETs architecture. Through cooperating with satellites, HAPs and UAVs to enhance connectivity and extend capacity, the Space-Air-Ground Integrated VANETs are expected to provide ubiquitous connection and immersive experience for vehicle users.
