Ego-network concept has been systematically studied, since this kind of network employs only locally available information to analyze its structure. Degree, closeness, and betweenness are widely studied centrality measures. Among the three measures presented, betweenness centrality in ego-networks is the most used in several fields such as Wireless Mesh Networks, Wireless Sensor Networks, and Delay Tolerant Networks. However, surprisingly, that measure has not been largely investigated in Vehicular ad hoc Networks (VANETs). In this paper, we contribute to filling this gap by designing and implementing the egocentric betweenness measure in VANETs, besides we compare it to the sociocentric betweenness measure.
