Moreover, 5G and vehicular networking are expected to play an important role in supporting TMSs for providing a smarter, safer and faster transportation. In this way, several infrastructure-based TMSs have been proposed to improve vehicular traffic mobility. However, in massively connected and multi-service smart city scenarios, infrastructure-based systems can experience low delivery ratios and high latency due to packet congestion in backhaul links on ultra-dense cells with high data traffic demand. In this sense, we propose I am not interested in it (IAN3I), an interest-based approach for reducing network contention and even avoid infrastructure dependence in TMS. IAN3I enables a fully-distributed traffic management and an opportunistic content sharing approach in which vehicles are responsible for storing and delivering traffic information only to vehicles interested in it. Simulation results under a realistic scenario have shown that, when compared to state-of-the-art approaches, IAN3I decreases the number of transmitted messages, packet collisions and latency in up to     95 %    ,     98 %     and     55 %     respectively while dealing with traffic efficiency properly, not affecting traffic management performance at all.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19102325","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,20]],"date-time":"2019-05-20T11:05:07Z","timestamp":1558350307000},"page":"2325","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["An Interest-Based Approach for Reducing Network Contentions in Vehicular Transportation Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5518-8392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Allan M.","family":"de Souza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computing, University of Campinas, Campinas 13083-852, Brazil"},{"name":"Institute of Computer Science, University of Bern, 3012 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guilherme","family":"Maia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte 31270-901, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Torsten","family":"Braun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computer Science, University of Bern, 3012 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leandro A.","family":"Villas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computing, University of Campinas, Campinas 13083-852, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"58","DOI":"10.1109\/TMC.2016.2538226","article-title":"DIVERT: A Distributed Vehicular Traffic Re-Routing System for Congestion Avoidance","volume":"16","author":"Pan","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
