Introduction

In our modern world, where technology intertwines seamlessly with everyday life, the evolution of vehicular networks stands out as a pivotal advancement. As vehicles become smarter and more interconnected, the realms of networking, transport, and quality of service converge to shape the future of transportation. This book delves into the intricate web of Vehicular Networks (VNs), exploring the dynamic interplay between networking infrastructure, transport protocols, and the delivery of quality services. From urban streets bustling with autonomous vehicles to long highways facilitating seamless communication, understanding the fundamentals of VN technology is paramount. In "Navigating the Road Ahead: Networking, Transport, and Quality of Service in Vehicular Networks," we embark on a comprehensive journey through the essential elements underpinning VNs. Through a blend of theoretical insights and practical applications, this book serves as a guide for both beginners and seasoned professionals in the field. Quality of Service (QoS) emerges as a cornerstone in our exploration, illuminating the importance of delivering superior user experiences amidst the complexities of vehicular environments. From prioritizing safety-critical information to enhancing multimedia streaming, we unravel the strategies and technologies driving QoS enhancements in VNs.
