Abstract
This chapter discusses the connectivity in freeway vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Estimating connectivity is necessary to measure the effectiveness of vehicular communication. The connection duration between any two vehicles is a function of their relative velocity, and the connectivity probability is a function of the headway distribution. Both are functions of the traffic regime. We begin by presenting some recent research results in estimating the connectivity probability and the communication duration between vehicles in different traffic conditions, namely single-lane same direction traffic. We then extend the results to other scenarios.
