Abstract The last decade was dominated by the development of new radio access technologies. The development has been driven by the great success of the second generation mobile communication. Although the third generation (3G) mobile system just started, many existing and emerging access technologies will coexist for a long time. Following the introducing of the new communications techniques, a large variation of new services are developed. Some of these services address the area of vehicular communication. One part where mobile communication is of major interest is the car maintenances and repair services at the aftersales market. This paper presents a survey of efforts on the approaching mobile internet architecture and their relations to the next generation car communication. We present a simulation tool to investigate and plan the next generation mobile internet architecture deploying WLAN and GPRS/UMTS technologies. Traffic performance is evaluated in detail by means of stochastical simulations. The impact of the horizontal handover in IEEE802.11a and the vertical handover between IEEE802.11a and GPRS on the system performance can be seen from the simulation results.
