Optimizing the broadcasting protocol is especially important in VANETs, since it can speed up basic network operations with the aim of enhancing upper QoS applications. This problem can be tackled by targeting three main goals: reaching as many devices as possible, minimizing the network utilization, and reducing the duration time of the broadcasting process. |

Optimal scheduling of traffic lights, and in particular optimal light cycle programs, is also a crucial task in actual cities with potential benefits in terms of energy consumption, traffic flow management, pedestrian safety, and environmental issues. Unlike new decentralized self-regulated lights, or traditional queue based systems, the use of metaheuristic algorithms to find successful cycle programs of traffic lights is still an open issue. |

Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem (dVRP), consists in assigning optimal routes to a fleet of vehicles that must give service to a set of clients. The problem conditions can be dynamic (especially if the fleet is connected to adapt to changing conditions), and therefore, highly variable: travel times may change due to traffic incidences, routes might be blocked off, new customer demands can be accepted and included in current routes, withdrawal of scheduled demands could be possible, etc. |
