Performance evaluation of IVC systems.

چکیده
An expert Working Group was set up in December 2000 to develop recommendations for users and industry on the evaluation of proper function and operation of individually ventilated cage (IVC) systems. The full report of their recommendations is in two parts--'Part 1: Test Instructions' and 'Part 2: Evaluation Criteria'--both of which have been published in full on the Laboratory Animals Ltd website. They can be found at http://www.lal.org.uk/IVC/index.html. Evaluation of and feedback on the recommendations to further refine their use and scientific basis is encouraged. This Summary Report provides a brief overview of the background to the development of the full report and the issues it addresses.

Toward Realistic Simulation of Intervehicle Communication: Models, Techniques and Pitfalls
The quality of Intelligent Transportation Systems strongly depends on the underlying communication protocols and techniques. In this article, we discuss the current state of the art, trends, and open problems in the area of simulation techniques used to study Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC). Complementary to testbed experiments that are often limited in scale and variety, simulation is one of...
متن کاملEffects of Location Uncertainty on Position-Based Broadcast Protocols in Inter-Vehicle Communication Systems
Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) systems are envisioned as the primary means to enable intelligent transportation systems and to increase vehicle traffic safety. Majority of applications envisioned for IVC systems rely on broadcast dissemination of information in the application area. Several broadcast protocols proposed for IVC systems utilize position information to optimize the system perfo...
متن کاملSimulation Tools and Techniques for Vehicular Communications and Applications
In the domain of Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC), even though first field operational tests are already going on, performance evaluation is still dominated by simulation experiments. Yet, they require a very specific methodology as well as adapted tools and models not straightforwardly found in other domains. In this chapter, we first describe the required methodology in terms of scalability ...
متن کاملLiterature Survey on Recent Progress in Inter-Vehicle Communication Simulations
The vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) technology based on the approved IEEE 802.11p standard and the appendant inter-vehicle communication (IVC) has the potential to dramatically change the way transportation systems work. The fundamental idea is to change the individual behavior of each vehicle by exchanging information among traffic participants to realize a cooperative and more efficient tran...
