In vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), store-carry-forward approach may be used for data\nsharing, where moving vehicles carry and exchange data when they go by each other. In this approach,\nstorage resource in a vehicle is generally limited. Therefore, attributes of data that have to\nbe stored in vehicles are an important factor in order to efficiently distribute desired data. In VANETs,\nthere are different types of data which depend on the time and location. Such kind of data\ncannot be deployed adequately to the requesting vehicles only by popularity-based rule. In this\npaper, we propose a data distribution method that takes into account the effective life and area in\naddition to popularity of data. Our extensive simulation results demonstrate drastic improvements\non acquisition performance of the time and area specific data.
