We further bring forward a new practical system bandwidth criterion named as effective usable bandwidth (EUB) for an end-to-end V2LC system with respect to the real world measurements. We demonstrate outdoor static V2LC channel measurement results, taking into account vehicle light emitting diode (LED) response, road reflections from nearby vehicles and various daylight conditions with respect to varying inter-vehicular distances. Measurement results indicate that, sunlight decreases system effective usable bandwidth due to the limited dynamic range of avalanche photodiode (APD), nearby vehicles cause constructive interference whereas road reflections change time dispersion characteristics of the V2LC channel.","PeriodicalId":335017,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115816716","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 measure the radiation patterns of the antenna of a commodity 2.4 GHz WiFi module mounted on six distinct positions on the body of six archetypal bicycles in an anechoic chamber. The RSSI sample set per angle and antenna position is characterized statistically and input into an empirical model of the gain pattern of the bicycle-antenna system. We define a bicycle-to-X propagation model that pairs the proposed bicycle-antenna gain and a log-distance shadowing path loss model, and conduct outdoor measurement campaign for evaluation. We observe that the gain model measured in chamber matches the measured RSSI at small distances, whereas at larger distances it provides less accuracy.","PeriodicalId":335017,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"367 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120896004","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}

Therefore, vehicles participating in a VANET continuously broadcast their state and location in Cooperative Awareness Messages (CAMs). While this information can be of great value to all road users, the transmission of such sensitive data poses a huge threat to privacy if messages can be linked to the sender. Signing messages using ephemeral pseudonyms is a widely accepted mitigation strategy that provides the security properties to guarantee the safe operation of VANET applications while offering conditional privacy to users. Pseudonym schemes allow On-Board Units (OBUs) to acquire a set of credentials and periodically exchange the signing material, dividing a journey into smaller, less meaningful segments. However, it is crucial to prevent an attacker from observing when pseudonym changes occur. In this poster, we investigate the resilience of a pseudonym change strategy based on encrypted mix-zones against the tracking of the physical properties inherent in the message transmission. By encrypting vehicle messages, Cryptographic mix-zones (CMIXs) offer protection against an eavesdropper external to the VANET, while at the same time preserving the integrity of safety applications. Even though CAMs containing location information are illegible for the attacker, the physical properties of radio signals, such as time of flight, cannot be obfuscated using encryption. To evaluate these properties, we acquired raw In-phase and Quadrature (I/Q) samples from transmissions of a NEXCOM OBU using Software Defined Radios (SDRs). Our results indicate that physical signal properties could be used to track vehicles through a CMIX.","PeriodicalId":335017,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130338461","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}

An abnormally high number of lane changes on a particular road section typically suggests that some lanes are blocked due to traffic incidents such as accidents and vehicle break downs. As a result, the lane change information is useful for automatic traffic incident detection. Currently, the lane change information of vehicles on an urban road is typically obtained from over-roadway fixed sensors such as surveillance cameras. However, using fixed sensors has limitations in terms of cost and coverage. It would be more effective if the lane change information could be collected directly from each individual vehicle. In this paper, we introduce a new mobile sensing approach to automatic real-time lane change detection. The lane change event is detected through the corresponding pattern of steering wheel rotation. The results show that the detection algorithm performs extremely well. Overall, it is able to achieve higher than 95% both in terms of precision and recall.","PeriodicalId":335017,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126842506","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 introduction of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) will increase this autonomy to greatly improve efficiency and safety on the road. However, when relying on vehicle-to-vehicle communication to make life-critical decisions, such as emergency braking, information authenticity and integrity is of paramount importance. Current schemes that satisfy these properties tie the identity of a vehicle’s owner to its messages and discourage malicious behavior under the penalty of prosecution. But if driver and owner are not the same, it is difficult to identify the person causing an accident or committing a traffic offense. This is particularly relevant for increasingly popular car sharing schemes and Transportation as a Service (TaaS) where vehicles are owned by mobility providers. In this paper, we propose a novel message authentication scheme based on biometric information that provides traceability of each message to the driver. This enables accountability and exclusion from the network on a per-individual basis, while at the same time preserving driver privacy. To evaluate functional protocol properties, such as computation overhead, we simulate traffic in a realistic road network. We implement our scheme and demonstrate its feasibility using a driver’s body impedance, an unobtrusive biometric modality that can be acquired while holding the steering wheel. Our evaluation is supported by data gathered in a user study with 33 subjects conducted under simulated driving conditions.","PeriodicalId":335017,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123327188","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 problem is formulated as an integer linear programming (ILP) problem and it further thrives on the minimization of service delay based on the traffic type.

This led to many proposals aimed at creating a Vehicular Public Key Infrastructure (VPKI) able to address such prerequisites. Among them, the Security Credential Management System (SCMS) is particularly promising, providing data authentication in a privacy-preserving manner and also supporting revocation of misbehaving vehicles. Despite SCMS’s appealing design, in this paper we show that its certificate issuing process can be further improved. Namely, one of the main benefits of SCMS is its so-called butterfly key expansion process, which issues arbitrarily large batches of pseudonym certificates by means of a single request. Although this protocol requires the vehicle to provide two separate public/private key pairs to registration authorities, we hereby propose an improved approach that unifies them into a single key. As a result, the processing and bandwidth utilization for certificate provisioning are reduced from 10% to 50% for all entities involved in the protocol. We also show that such performance gains come with no negative impact in terms of security, flexibility or scalability when compared to the original SCMS.","PeriodicalId":335017,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124354132","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 general concept of platooning, i.e., cars traveling in form of a road train with minimized safety gaps, has been studied in depth and we see first field trials on the road. Currently, most research focuses on improved reliability of the necessary communication protocols to achieve perfect string stability with guaranteed safety measures. One aspect, however, remained quite unexplored: the problem of assigning cars to platoons. Based on the capabilities of individual cars (e.g., max. acceleration or speed) and preferences of the driver (e.g., min/max. traveling speed, preference on travel time vs. fuel consumption), the assignment decision will be different. We formulate an optimization problem and develop a set of protocols (centralized and distributed) to support platoon formation. In an extensive series of simulation experiments, we show that our protocols not just help forming platoons, but also take care of the individual requirements of cars and drivers.","PeriodicalId":335017,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122131462","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}
