Vehicular communication network is a high-speed mobile Ad-Hoc network (MANET).Vehicle connectivity is important in studying multi-hop communications, and is a challenge due to rapid changes of topology caused by fast moving of vehicles and frequent disconnection of the network.In this paper, a connectivity model of vehicular communication network based on headway is established based on the point of headway.It is done by reasonably analyzing the trafc, and assuming that the headway follows the Erlang distribution and the speed of vehicles follows normal distribution.The relation between the numbers of arriving vehicles per unit time period and the average vehicle density, that between the range of communication and vehicle connectivity are analyzed.Simulation results show that the more vehicles arrive in a unit time period, the higher the average vehicle density.Consequently, an optimum range of communication can be obtained for good connectivity.The proposed network connectivity model is useful for transmitting data in vehicular communication networks.
