In this paper, we present an innovative adaptive streaming system for the connected vehicles to meet the stringent requirements in vehicular environments. We analyze and discuss the advantages and constraints of transport protocol, scalable coding, bandwidth estimation and delivery strategy that are critical to a vehicular adaptive streaming system.

Therefore, the energy cost of MRT systems will continue to increase. If some energy saving strategies are implemented, operating cost and energy consumption of MRT systems can be greatly reduced. This study analyzes the optimal schedule, regenerative taper voltage adjustment and no-load voltage adjustment of traction substations to determine energy saving strategies. A case study of a Taipei MRT line, under different operating conditions is analyzed. This research adopts commercial railway system software to simulate the operation of the Taipei MRT line. Regenerative braking energy and some other conditions for energy saving strategies are simulated. Energy saving effects are estimated to show the achievement of operational cost savings.","PeriodicalId":171304,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126013851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sensor integration is proposed to realize this target in his paper. Global Positioning System (GPS) has been proven itself reliable for accurate vehicle self-localization in the open sky scenario. However, it suffers from the effect of multipath and Non-Line-Of-Sigh (NLOS) propagation in urban canyon. The paper proposes to estimate vehicle position by using 3-dimensional (3D) map and ray-racing method in order to overcome the problems in urban canyon. The proposed positioning method distributes numbers of positioning candidates around of reference positioning, and then the weighing of the position candidates are evaluated based on the similarity between the simulated pseudorange and the observed pseudorange. In his way, the additional 3D map information is used to reduce the effect of multipath and NLOS. Moreover, the information from vehicle sensors, including motion sensor and rotation sensor, are integrated with he GPS positioning result in a Kalman filer framework. The integration no only smoothens the trajectory of vehicle, but also reduces the positioning error. The experimental results demonstrate the accuracy of our proposed method and is feasibility for autonomous driving.","PeriodicalId":171304,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127418237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this transition new disruptive technologies replace existing ones but quickly become obsolete themselves. Safety and efficiency become even more important as the driver has less input into driving decisions and more difficult to achieve since many of these decisions rely on software technologies which are not as familiar to automotive engineers as the usual mechanical solutions. In the rush to deploy solutions with the latest technology the quality of the software can suffer. The objective of this work is to suggest changes needed in current automotive software engineering to meet the levels of quality demanded by autonomous, connected vehicles. One of the biggest changes is that vehicle and infrastructure technology needs to be developed in context. Strategic decisions concerning which technologies to integrate and the development processes to use require an understanding of the emerging markets. The development method outlined here provides an organization with guidance on using ecosystem roadmaps and a high integrity software development process to accommodate emerging technologies and ever shorter product cycles. In part this is accomplished by fitting those technologies into validated architectures and using techniques that detect defects early. The result is an environment in which safety-critical products are developed more effectively and efficiently.","PeriodicalId":171304,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129285820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the appropriateness of the suggested model, in-depth analysis in terms of OBU storage and time overhead has been conducted and the analytical results show that our scenario is practical and fast only when some idealistic assumptions are made for small network sizes and compromisation rates.","PeriodicalId":171304,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126320490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
