Abstract
In recent years the number of automobiles have been increased on the roads. Due to high density of vehicles, the potential threats and road accidents are increasing. Alongside new application domains are evolving such as infotainment. VANETs is an emerging technology where the information is exchanged among the vehicles on the road to provide updates about different road situations and dangerous conditions, to save time and lives. A lot of research is carried in this field and many simulations studies are available. The experimental studies based on the open sources hardware models are very rare. We have developed a prototype for VANETs to exchange short safety messages and infotainment sharing among the vehicles. Along with designing we have also analyzed its performance and obtained results by doing many experiments using Arduino.
