The cooperative perception can provide upcoming traffic situations ahead, even beyond line-of-sight and field-of-view. From a control perspective, a spatial map for navigation planning is extended up to the boundary of connected vehicles in a see-through manner. By leveraging this augmented perception capability, a better driving decision can be accomplished in terms of traffic flow efficiency and safety improvement. For this purpose, we propose a mirror neuron inspired intention awareness algorithm along with planning and control methods using the algorithm. We demonstrate the feasibility of our proposals through simulations and experiments on the road.","PeriodicalId":171304,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"44 4 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":"131752074","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}

Unfortunately, the 802.11 protocol poorly behaves under congested scenarios and cannot guarantee the reliability and timeliness demands of massively transmitted broadcast messages, leading to the severe degradation of safety. Recently, there has been a consensus from academia, automotive industries and standardization bodies in adapting transmission parameters (e.g., rate, transmission power) according to the channel load status. Although the objective of controlling channel load can be met with local load measurements only, the participation and fairness principles require the dissemination and sharing of load information among vehicles. In this paper, we aim to shed light on the dynamics of the channel busy ratio (CBR) metrics (locally measured and shared over one/two hops), commonly used in the literature and at the basis of the Decentralized Congestion Control (DCC) standard, under different density and mobility settings.","PeriodicalId":171304,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"60 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":"132063476","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 tackle this formidable challenge, 3GPP Long Term Evolution has recognized network densification with low-power small cells (SCs) as a key paradigm in the upcoming 5G communication system. In this article, we introduce a novel wireless backhaul framework for small cell networks by introducing a new backhauling component, which is referred to as Type-A relay. This new entity is capable of communicating simultaneously with two macrocells by leveraging the downlink resource of one cell as well as the uplink resource of the other, which effectively operates in full-duplex mode without incurring additional costs to acquire carrier resources. The proposed approach offers increased architectural flexibility and substantial capacity enhancement over the current LTE relaying-based solutions. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the strong potential of the proposed approach in future 5G communication systems.","PeriodicalId":171304,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"11 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":"133950643","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}

In highly dense traffic scenarios, however, the current Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) technology is expected to face serious performance problems due to simultaneous transmissions making packets to collide with each other. In this paper, we first analyze the sources of packet collisions. The analysis reveals a significant amount of simultaneous transmissions as vehicles have chosen the same backoff counter, especially in the close vicinity, which is the most critical area with respect to safety. Based on these observations, we then introduce a new concept for DSRC backoff generation called geo-backoff. It implements two countermeasures: First, we increase the Contention Window (CW) to reduce the probability of simultaneous transmissions in general. Second, we exploit geographical information for generating the current backoff counter to further reduce the probability of packet collisions at short (critical) ranges. We analyze our concept from a traditional TX-RX perspective (latency) as well as an RX-centric perspective (update delay). The simulation results indeed have shown that geo-backoff is able to improve the communication performance, but the improvement is mainly dominated by just increasing the CW.","PeriodicalId":171304,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"99 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":"124087897","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}

The lack of adequate light at night impairs a driver, preventing him/her from being able to judge distances between objects accurately as well as preventing a driver from recognizing various objects on the street and avoiding them. Additionally, high intensity light from the headlights of oncoming vehicles causes temporary blindness, leading to accidents. In our proposed research, we measure the intensity of light incident on a vehicle (say V1) from an oncoming vehicle (say V2). If the light intensity is above a certain threshold - calibrated a-priori - then vehicle V1 automatically requests the oncoming vehicle V2 to reduce its light intensity. The reduction in light intensity is automatically done by the oncoming vehicle V2 by lowering its light beam fractionally so as to satisfy the first vehicle's (V1's) request, while still maintaining adequate light for the driver of oncoming vehicle (V2). This process may need to be repeated several times before two vehicles cross each other. Thus an optimal headlight attenuation is achieved which satisfies both parties, thereby improving visibility and traffic safety.","PeriodicalId":171304,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"3 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":"121298413","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}

These models are evaluated for travel times, fuel consumption, number of lane changes and the overall braking globally for all vehicles on the considered road segment. We have developed traffic simulations using different traffic densities for both symmetric and asymmetric lane changes and different levels of cooperation among vehicles. Our empirical analysis shows that an optimal lane change model should optimize the conflicting requirements of maintaining desired speeds and reducing the number of lane changes and fuel consumption for all vehicles simultaneously.
