Abstract
We consider that a given number of Dissemination Points (DPs) have to be deployed for disseminating information
to vehicles travelling in an urban area. We formulate our problem as a Maximum Coverage Problem (MCP) so as to maximize the number of vehicles that get in contact with
the DPs and as a second step with a sufficient amount of time. Since the MCP is NP-hard, we solve it though heuristic
algorithms. Evaluation of the proposed solutions in a realistic urban environment shows how knowledge of vehicular mobility
plays a major role in achieving an optimal coverage of mobile users, and that simple heuristics provide near-optimal results
even in large-scale scenarios.
