However, the road network infrastructure is subject to constant changes (e.g. through constructions works, accidents, ...). Such changes have to be quickly identified to avoid dangerous driving situations, for example through a reduction of driving speed or the safe handover of driving control back to the human. To address this issue we propose a road hazard detection algorithm that identifies and marks the extent of such changes based on crowdsourced GNSS data. To increase the detection speed of our proposed algorithm, we only rely on sensor information in the collection process, that is not only available through vehicles, but as well by cheap and ubiquitous devices carried on by the passengers such as smartphones. To deal with the limited accuracy of the collected data, we enhance existing algorithmic clustering approaches by leveraging additional meta-data such as the quality of the collected GNSS points and the vehicle’s current lane position. Our concept is evaluated with real world measurements in a highway construction site scenario showing improved performance in comparison to the Kernel Density Estimation reference algorithm, used versatile in Related Work.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123314676","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}

Already deployed systems rely on the cellular network infrastructure, while the Wifi-based 802.11p standard will likely be implemented on a large scale in the next years. As realworld tests are costly, simulations are used to develop mechanisms for efficient short-range communication via 802.11p. However, efficient long-range communication between vehicles is pivotal for non-safety related information sharing. Current simulators often focus on short-range communication exchange, while approaches for efficient long-range communication are barely considered in automotive scenarios. To enable rapid development of new approaches, we propose a scalable simulation environment for automotive applications. Our contributions are (i) the realistic modeling of heterogeneous vehicles including sensors and network interfaces, (ii) the automated generation of road properties like accidents and jams, and (iii) a configurable back-end infrastructure distributing events to the vehicles. All of the above contributions enable rapid prototyping and evaluation of automotive applications in various environments. We showcase two exemplary use cases to demonstrate the versatility of our simulation framework: an efficient road-based dissemination approach for long-range information exchange and a distributed information validation approach.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125879685","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 key idea is to utilize a model predictive control (MPC) for the longitudinal vehicle dynamics which explicitly considers the current and the predicted states of multiple traffic lights ahead. Consequently, the vehicle can drive in urban situations much more energy efficient, which can be used to enlarge the range of electric vehicles or save fuel while additionally improving travel time. Modern traffic lights are equipped with transmitters that send information about their actual and upcoming system states. Additionally, traffic lights connected to a traffic control center can broadcast their future signal phases to vehicles many kilometers ahead. This information may be used to adapt the vehicle speed so that engine operation points are optimal and stops can be avoided. These kind of algorithms are referred to as green light optimal speed advisory. This work presents a novel online capable MPC approach that uses a sequential quadratic program to solve the respective optimal control problem. This approach is implemented in a framework introduced as well which allows driving tests in a real vehicle.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134321808","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}

Smart mobility allows tourists to become more comfortable with transportation in an unknown city by providing interesting information about places seen during their trip. Traditional taxies provide quick transportation from the point A to point B but people sometimes are interested in seeing attractions during their trips and are willing to spend more time and money to do so. Integration of the smartphone application with the vehicle infotainment system provides opportunities of new smart services construction that is based on information from vehicle sensors and Internet connection as well as utilization of in-cabin infrastructure and communication with the driver (suggesting the route preferred by the tourist, speed while going around attractions, adjust the temperature, music, and etc.).

The ideal parameter-dependent trajectory is introduced, and it is shown that it reduces transportation energy drastically relative to “typical trajectories” seen in traffic. The resulting trajectories can easily be implemented in self-driving cars and have the potential to significantly reduce transportation energy in networked vehicles and cities. The usage of this energy-optimal speed trajectories between stops can save significant amounts of energy, sometimes in excess of 30% when comparing to conventional traffic flow speed profiles. This paper also addresses the impact that vehicle and segment parameters have on the savings. The role of parameters such as the air drag coefficient, cross-sectional area, vehicle mass, efficiency, segment length, average speed, as well as acceleration capability are investigated. It is shown that optimizing speed trajectories to minimize transportation energy consistently results in energy savings. However, diminishing returns are observed for certain scenarios, such as long, low-speed segments.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127256467","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 impact and hence the importance to model the environment dependent propagation effects in a representative manner has already been stressed in the literature several times - but separately for ad-hoc or cellular systems and not under the consideration of V2X safety-beaconing applications. By combining a realistic heterogeneous radio propagation channel model with a state-of-the-art V2X communication stack, a representative performance comparison of safety-relevant beaconing applications for 802.11p single-hop broadcast (SHB) and LTE Geocast can be conducted. Our simulation results show that the effects caused by the radio propagation channel cannot be neglected as they significantly impact key communication performance metrics such as channel gain, packet error ratio (PER) and channel load, where we primarily focus on the latter one to give further research directions for an efficient dissemination of safety-relevant V2X beacons.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122476729","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}

Autonomous vehicles are expected to take over tasks which are dull, dirty and dangerous for humans (3Ds of robotization). However, augmented autonomy increases reliance on the robustness of the system. Autonomous vehicle systems are heavily focused on data acquisition in order to perceive the driving environment accurately. In the future, a typical autonomous vehicle data ecosystem will include data from internal sensors, infrastructure, communication with nearby vehicles, and other sources. Physical faults, malicious attacks or a misbehaving vehicle can result in the incorrect perception of the environment, which can in turn lead to task failure or accidents. Anomaly detection is hence expected to play a critical role improving the security and efficiency of autonomous and connected vehicles. Anomaly detection can be defined as a way of identifying unusual or unexpected events and/or measurements. In this paper, we focus on the specific case of malicious attack/hijacking of the system which results in unpredictable evolution of the autonomous vehicle. We use a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network for anomaly/fault detection. It is, first, trained on non-abnormal data to understand the system’s baseline performance and behaviour, monitored through three vehicle control parameters namely velocity, acceleration and jerk. Then, the model is used to predict over a number of future time steps and an alarm is raised as soon as the observed behaviour of the autonomous car significantly deviates from the prediction. The relevance of this approach is supported by numerical experiments based on data produced by an autonomous car simulator, capable of generating attacks on the system.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126794683","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}

We present a 3D car tracking method that combines more data from different sensors (cameras, Lidar, GPS/IMU) to track static and dynamic cars in a 3D bounding box. Fed by the images and 3D point cloud, a 3D car detector and the spatial transform module are firstly applied to estimate current location, dimensions, and orientation of each surrounding car in each frame in the 3D world coordinate system, followed by a 3D Kalman filter to predict the location, dimensions, orientation and velocity for each corresponding car in the next time. The predictions from Kalman filtering are used for re-identifying previously detected cars in the next frame using the Hungarian algorithm.
