This research presents a bicycle safety application for connected vehicles. The safety application aims to reduce the so-called right hook conflict, a common accident scenario where a right-turning vehicle causes a crash with an adjacent bicycle. The information exchanged during normal beacon messages of vehicles is used by the application to alert drivers of potential collisions with bicycles, without introducing addition message overhead or deviating from current standards. The proposed safety application was implemented using commercial equipment, installed in the vehicle and bicycle, and the effectiveness was evaluated based on real-world field experiments.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131332505","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}

Saturated roads increase the likelihood of vehicular collisions, mostly since the distance between the cars is decreased significantly. The emerging technology of communication between cars is suggested as an enabling technology to optimize traffic flow control. One solution to improve traffic flow on dense roads is to share kinematic properties among near cars. This could enable drivers or an automated system to get better decisions with respect to following the preceding cars. Control algorithms for cars driving in heavy traffic that considers the velocities, acceleration and spacing of the neighboring vehicles ahead, could eliminate traffic waves and reduce tail to head collisions. The purpose of this work is to design and construct a lab testbed based on scaled electric cars, which are remotely controlled by a PC, and to implement driving algorithms for these cars assuming the kinematic properties of the adjacent cars are known.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132847660","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}

Whereas the first is for identifying interactions of parameters that lead to harmful situations considering predefined value domains, the latter is for finding parameter values that cause such critical situations.

To solve this problem, we propose a control strategy that leverages information shared via V2X for extending the line-of-sight of the on-board ranging sensors. The control protocol augments the classical I-ADAS approach based on local measurements with an additional networked action that has the aim of preventing oncoming colliding situations. The control strategy is purposely designed for counteracting the unavoidable presence of communication impairments that turns into multiple time-varying delays affecting the information sent via the cyber-space. The numerical analysis, carried out leveraging the Matlab/Simulink platform, discloses the effectiveness of the approach for a challenging case where vehicles dynamic conditions are such that collisions would have occurred at the intersection if the vehicle would only be equipped with range sensors.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"70 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128046522","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}

Recent achievements in the field of artificial intelligence and the organization of the movement of autonomous vehicles today allow us to create concepts that may become ubiquitous in the near future. In this paper, the authors consider the possibilities for creating an intelligent transport infrastructure within the concept of a smart city using cyber-physical systems. The aspects of information security in the use of cyber-physical systems are considered, approaches to solving problems of intersection management are discussed. Intersections in cities loaded with traffic can be compared with bottlenecks - the trajectory of many vehicles overlap and congestion occurs. To increase the capacity of urban streets, the authors presented a model of the system that regulates the movement of vehicles at the intersection. To assess the feasibility of using the developed model, the authors developed a software simulator of two connected urban intersections. For comparison, a simulator of the intersections, regulated by a traffic lights, was also developed. The results of the experiments allow us to say that the developed model is more efficient than the traffic light in the framework of this study.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122642782","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}

Functions like Extended-Automated Emergency Braking (E-AEB) are implemented by Automated Driving System (ADS), which are intended to improve active safety of road vehicles such as cars, trucks, and buses. ADS functions are safety-critical in sense of Functional Safety according to ISO 26262, because any malfunction may lead to a harm of people. Limitations of sensor technologies and algorithms of ADS can lead to an unwanted hazardous situation, which is addressed in the first Public Available Specification (PAS) called Safety of the intended Functionality (SOTIF, ISO/PAS 21448). This paper presents a work in progress of a systematic workflow to identify the so-called “triggering events” of sensing units based on camera and Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR). The workflow has been used for a systematic analysis to identify triggering events of relevant sensor technologies for an E-AEB use case. In the last step, an evaluation of sensor modelling tools for simulation of sensor imperfections has been performed. Furthermore, the results will be used to derive simulation test cases for verification and validation of such sensing technology.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131097576","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}

Nevertheless, prediction of Quality of Service parameters, particularly throughput, is still a challenging task while on the move. Whereas most approaches in this research field rely on historical data measurements, mapped to the corresponding coordinates in the area of interest, this paper proposes a throughput prediction method that focuses on a location independent approach. In order to compensate the missing positioning information, mainly used for spatial clustering, our model uses low-level mobile network parameters, improved by additional feature engineering to retrieve abstracted location information, e. g., surrounding building size and street type. Thus, the major advantage of our method is the applicability to new regions without the prerequisite of conducting an extensive measurement campaign in advance. Therefore, we embed analysis results for underlying temporal relations in the design of different deep neuronal network types. Finally, model performances are evaluated and compared to traditional models, such as the support vector or random forest regression, which were harnessed in previous investigations.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121606090","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}
