Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is developed to enhance the safety, comfort and efficiency of driving. The IEEE 802.11p/WAVE and IEEE 1609.4 family are standards intended to support wireless access in VANETs. In this paper, we propose an Efficient and Reliable MAC protocol for VANETs (VER-MAC) which allows nodes to broadcast safety packets twice during both the control channel interval and service channel interval to increase the safety broadcast reliability. By using the additional data structures, nodes can transmit service packets during the control channel interval to improve the service throughput.
