چکیده (انگلیسی):

This paper presents a formal verification of a safety message dissemination protocol used in vehicular adhoc
networks. It is proposed to use Road Side Units to broadcast road hazard information to vehicles
travelling on highways. Quick dissemination of road hazard information, like road blocks, slippery roads
and other obstacles can help to prevent road accidents and improve passenger safety. Formal verification is
a mathematical approach that helps developers to validate the protocol and correct design errors. The well
known model checker, SPIN has been used to model the possible behavior of the protocol and provide
formal verification of the correctness of the protocol.
