Generally, the travel time on a road section can be estimated from the global positioning data collected by a mobile probe. The more frequent the positioning data are collected or sampled, the more accurate the travel time estimation is. However, the accuracy comes at the expense of a large storage space for keeping the data. In addition, in some systems where a mobile probe needs to send its positioning data to a server or other vehicles in real-time, using an overly high sampling rate can waste the radio channel bandwidth unnecessarily since excessive amount of data will be transmitted. In this paper, we determine the minimum collection rate of positioning data required to achieve the desired level of travel time estimation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":228148,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131961091","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, heartbeat messages used by many safety applications provide a constant stream of location data, and without any protection measures, they make tracking of vehicles easy even for a passive eavesdropper. One commonly known solution is to transmit heartbeats under pseudonyms that are changed regularly in order to obfuscate the trajectory of vehicles. However, this approach is effective only if some silent period is kept during the pseudonym change and several vehicles change their pseudonyms nearly at the same time and at the same location. Unlike previous works that proposed explicit synchronization between a group of vehicles and/or required pseudonym change in a designated physical area (i.e., a static mix zone), we propose a much simpler approach that does not need any explicit cooperation between vehicles and any infrastructure support. Our basic idea is that vehicles should not transmit heartbeat messages when their speed drops below a given threshold, say 30 km/h, and they should change pseudonym during each such silent period. This ensures that vehicles stopping at traffic lights or moving slowly in a traffic jam will all refrain from transmitting heartbeats and change their pseudonyms nearly at the same time and location. Thus, our scheme ensures both silent periods and synchronized pseudonym change in time and space, but it does so in an implicit way. We also argue that the risk of a fatal accident at a slow speed is low, and therefore, our scheme does not seriously impact safety-of-life. In addition, refraining from sending heartbeat messages when moving at low speed also relieves vehicles of the burden of verifying a potentially large amount of digital signatures, and thus, makes it possible to implement vehicle communications with less expensive equipments.","PeriodicalId":228148,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130517838","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 experiments with the vehicle slowly passing by a transmitter-receiver pair correspond to a case study where the communication session occurs in a single lane of a multi-lane highway with a vehicle moving in the adjacent lane. We propose a corresponding ray-tracing model based on the bistatic radar equation which predicts the link power for a given car geometry and the position of transmit and receive antennas. The model converts a near field propagation problem to a superposition of a set of far field sub-problems by representing the vehicle as a set of (sufficiently small) ideally conductive flat tiles. Hence, the channel transfer function is determined as a sum of the line-of-sight (LOS) component and the rays reflected from the tiles. The ray strengths are a function of the effective tile radar cross sections (RCSs). The carefully selected RCS model allows for a good match between the measurements and the resulting ray-tracing model. Both the model and the measurements illustrate that the change in the propagation geometry on the order of centimeters, created by a car passing in the proximity (on the order of meters), results in the change of the signal power at the receiver on the order of several decibels.","PeriodicalId":228148,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129525630","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}

However, there are trade-offs in the adoption of these technologies including data capacity, continuity of connections, energy use and contention with other users. We focus on short range technologies that support both near-neighbor communication, for safety applications, and multihop communications for message propagation. Due to frequent network partitioning, opportunistic message exchange is required for message propagation. Earlier studies reveal that messages are suitably propagated in both directions of traffic as vehicle traffic density increases. In this paper we consider asymmetries in traffic density caused by directionality. For example, ‘rush hour’ traffic fills one direction of a roadway while the other direction can be sparse. Performance analysis indicates that data dissemination under asymmetry produces a corresponding asymmetry in message propagation in the direction of higher-density traffic. This result is framed in the context of traffic density regimes and is useful in the design of vehicular networks that leverage short range communications. For a fixed traffic density in one direction, an increase in density from 0 to 20 vehicles/km in the other direction, yields a corresponding increase of 500 m/s to 1000 m/s in the messaging performance depending upon the regime.","PeriodicalId":228148,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133534740","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 our method, we assume that each pedestrian is equipped with a small device which periodically emits a radio beacon signal and each roadside anchor can receive the signal and measure its received signal strength (RSS). Our method estimates the pedestrian position from RSS at each anchor based on the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method. Moreover, to obtain an accurate pedestrian trajectory, our method applies the Bayes' theorem to a series of estimated positions and reduces estimation errors caused by uncertainty from radio interference and other factors.

So several simulations were conducted in network simulator 2 with Monte Carlo method for a penetration rate of 10%. The simulation results show that vehicles' high mobility does not greatly affect the communication of vehicles on different lanes; traffic streams running to opposite directions will distinctly affect each other's communication performance, but the unidirectional traffic streams with a relative speed of 30km/h has no obvious impact; under the bidirectional condition, the increasing of traffic density on one lane cannot markedly improve the communication performance of the IVC networks.
