Abstract: Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is currently an active area of research and aims to improve vehicle, road safety, traffic efficiency, convenience and comfort to drivers as well as passengers. This paper provides a state of the art overview of VANET standards, architectures, channel access methods and message dissemination approaches. A detailed survey based on delays especially that occur in reactive message dissemination approaches with a short survey of predictive message dissemination approaches has been presented. We also highlighted our view on some of the open issues to be addressed.

Keywords: VANET; vehicular ad-hoc network; message dissemination; road safety; routing; delays; quality of service; standards; architectures; channel access.
