The OBU is mainly comprised of a resource command processor (RCP), and resources include a read/write memory employed to save and retrieve information, a user interface, a specific interface to connect with the other OBUs and a network device for short-range wireless communication on the basis of IEEE 802.11p wireless technology. The OBU connects to the RSU or to other OBUs via a wireless link and is held accountable for the communications among the other OBUs or with the RSUs. It can also accommodate a transmission service to the AU and transmits data in place of other OBUs on the network. The foremost purposes of the OBU in VANET are wireless radio access, ad-hoc and geographical routing, network jam control, secure information transmissionand information
