In recent years, the use of cellular network technologies to provide communication-based applications to vehicles has received considerable attention. 3GPP, the standardization body responsible for cellular networks specifications, is developing technologies to meet the requirements of vehicular communication applications, and the research community is testing and validating the ability of those technologies to implement different applications. This survey presents the body of work dealing with the use of cellular technologies to implement communication-based applications for the connected vehicle. We focus on basic and advanced road safety and traffic efficiency applications, which are critically important for the future of vehicular networks. We start by describing the different cellular-related technologies that have a role to play in providing services to the connected vehicle, propose a classification of types of communication used in vehicular applications, and then apply this classification to organize and present recent research work on the topic. Finally, we identify the main challenges in the use of cellular technologies to develop applications for the connected vehicle.

近年来，使用蜂窝网络技术为车辆提供基于通信的应用程序受到了相当多的关注。负责蜂窝网络规范的标准化机构 3GPP 正在开发满足车载通信应用要求的技术，研究界正在测试和验证这些技术实现不同应用的能力。该调查介绍了使用蜂窝技术为联网车辆实施基于通信的应用程序的工作主体。我们专注于基础和先进的道路安全和交通效率应用，这对未来的车载网络至关重要。我们首先描述了在为联网车辆提供服务方面发挥作用的不同蜂窝相关技术，提出了车辆应用中使用的通信类型的分类，然后应用该分类来组织和展示最近的研究工作话题。最后，我们确定了使用蜂窝技术开发联网车辆应用程序的主要挑战。
