In this paper we look into communication range and capacity requirements of automated vehicles. The results obtained show that fully automated vehicles may eventually require a lower communication range than non-automated vehicles thanks to the reduction in reaction times. In addition, we also analyze the communication capacity required by automated vehicles through an estimation of the vehicle density. Based on existing studies illustrating the increase in road capacity, we derive communication capacity requirements for automated vehicles. Future work will look into application level and link level latency and reliability requirements analysis.","PeriodicalId":352428,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125818090","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}

V2V has recently gained considerable attention in part due to the standardization work that has started for Long Term Evolution (LTE) under the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Efficient and reliable distributed allocation of time-frequency resources among different vehicle user equipments (VUEs) remains a challenge particularly in dense urban environments. In this work, a new autonomous resource selection scheme for urban V2V communication scenario is proposed. Specifically, the proposed scheme relies on resource partitioning based on VUE heading direction along with a sensing-based collision avoidance mechanism, which aims to alleviate the potential interference between VUEs due to resource collision and in-band emission (IBE). The performance of the two-stage autonomous resource selection scheme is evaluated by system-level simulations in urban scenarios, where the results show a significant performance gain in comparison to existing approaches.","PeriodicalId":352428,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126401492","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 this work, two additional services are introduced: a passenger detection algorithm that informs the emergency services about the number of people inside the car during the crash; and a video streaming mechanism that enables vehicles in the vicinity of the accident to send a live record of the accident scene.

First and foremost, in attempting to achieve local privacy, they interfere with the primary purpose of vehicular networks: to improve road safety. Other solutions undermine accountability or introduce too high overhead to be of practical use. For this reason, proper privacy protection is disregarded in many field experiments, proposals, and standardization documents. In this paper, we take a structured approach to deriving a holistic solution for location privacy protection in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs): Under reasonable assumptions about an adversary's capability, local privacy is neither required nor can it be achieved without compromising traffic safety. Our approach is therefore based on synchronized time-slotted pseudonym pools and the local announcing of pseudonym changes. By this, we overcome the privacy-safety problem while at the same time increasing privacy for all users. Our system is fully compatible with the requirements of vehicular networks and current standardization efforts.","PeriodicalId":352428,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133908576","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 receiver of this system suffers from an inability to detect the correct luminance values of each LED since the image captured by the receiver blurs owing to defocusing. To overcome this problem, our previous study proposed a data demodulation method from blurred images by using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method. However, this method requires high complexity as the number of LEDs increases. In this paper, we propose a demodulation method whose performance approaches the MLE method with significantly reduced complexity. The proposed method first apply the MMSE estimation to discern each LED's condition. According to the results of the estimation, we divide symbols from each LED into high reliability symbols and low reliability symbols. If the symbol is categorized as high reliability symbol, we demodulate data based on the result. On the other hand, if the symbol is categorized as low reliability symbol, we apply the MLE method to the LEDs who have low reliability symbols to demodulate data. We conduct computer simulation and compare the performance of the proposed method with the previous (MLE) one.","PeriodicalId":352428,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124645227","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}

One key goal of VANETs is to provide sufficient Quality-of-Service (QoS) for real-time safety applications. The MAC protocol for VANETs is crucial to provide for an efficient and reliable medium access. The challenge is to design it to be able to cope with rapid topology changes, high node mobility [1] and different QoS requirements. Safety applications require a high reliability and a bounded delay while non-critical applications are rather throughput sensitive [2]. These applications facilitate wireless broadcast warning messages between neighboring vehicles to inform drivers on time about dangerous situations like accidents. The IEEE 1609.4 standard defines a MAC layer implementation for multichannel operations in VANETs for such broadcasts. In this poster paper, we present a distributed hybrid MAC scheme for emergency systems. The proposed scheme improves the Control Channel (CCH) utilization and uniformly distributes the load on Service Channels (SCHs). In the proposed scheme, the network switches its mode from general to emergency in order to effectively utilize common service channels thus increase the probability for timely reception of messages. In addition, the proposed scheme reduces the rate of transmission collisions and latency, thus resulting in high probability of message delivery. The proposed MAC scheme is simulated and compared with the existing competitors. The obtained results depict that the proposed hybrid scheme outperforms its competitors and thus validates its performance.","PeriodicalId":352428,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124686934","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}

It includes adversary modules that can eavesdrop vehicle messages and track their movements.
