A New Standard: Redesigning Autonomous Vehicle Communication Using Multi-Party Computation

Around the world millions of people get injured due to traffic accidents. Autonomous vehicles are expected to significantly reduce these numbers. To increase safety, autonomous vehicle communication can be used. Current vehicle communication networks called VANETs have security and privacy protection problems and the vehicle industry is...

Impact of radio channel characteristics on the longitudinal behaviour of truck platoons in critical car-following situations

Truck platooning is an application of cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) which relies on vehicle-to-vehicle communications facilitated by vehicle ad-hoc networks. Communication uncertainties can affect the performance of a CACC controller. Previous research has not considered the full spectrum of possible car-following scenarios needed...

Statistical Modeling of Intelligent Transportation Systems Communication Channels

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is becoming an important paradigm, because of its ability to enhance safety and to mitigate congestion on road traffic scenarios. Realizing the fact that data collection scheme from in-situ test beds for large number of vehicles is always expensive and time consuming, before being employed in large scale,...

Map updates: A VANET application

Digital maps, based on which navigation systems in vehicles operate, require frequent updates to reflect changes in real world. These changes currently being issued using off-line mechanisms are cumbersome in nature as well costly. Therefore a need exists, to come up with a wireless solution which can not only perform updates without human...
