It offers to road users a wide variety of applications which can be classified into four main categories: safety, road traffic, comfort and infotainment. This paper deals with safety applications. Their main goal is to detect critical road conditions (e.g. accidents, black ice, etc.) and/or send notifications to other vehicles in the network. An effective dissemination of such a message relies on multi-hop retransmissions. Thus an explicit or implicit cooperation between vehicles is needed in order to relay the message over a wide area. The main challenge is to avoid the broadcast storm problem. This paper proposes an efficient segment-delay based method that divides the road into several segments depending on the network density and utilises a waiting time update technique to expedite the dissemination process with respect to network performance. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.2 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01675423/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01675423/file/453598_1_En_17_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01675423 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01675423 %~ UNIV-BOURGOGNE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-BM %~ ENSAM %~ LE2I %~ UNIV-BM-THESE %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-WG6-2 %~ IFIP-WWIC %~ IFIP-LNCS-10372 %~ IMVIA %~ LIB_UB %~ LIB-COMBINRES %~ HESAM %~ HESAM-ENSAM %~ IRENAV %~ LAMPA %~ LCPI %~ LABOMAP %~ LISPEN %~ MSMP
