Intelligent vehicular communication is fundamental to manage vehicle-to-grid (V2G) interaction, where electric vehicles (EVs) provide energy balance demand of critical loads (CLs). We propose resource efficiency (RE) exploit the tradeoff between spectral (SE) and cost (CE) EVs in a V2G network. The CE data rate channel base station (BS) over operating supply CLs. consider maximizing RE downlink...

The development of Integrated Chassis Control (ICC) systems is a major area of current interest in automotive research. Roughly speaking, research on this topic has been motivated by the desire for increased vehicle safety, increased comfort, and better performance by taking into account and utilising the interactions that exists between the different subsystems of the vehicle. While research o...

A critical element to the success of new propulsion technologies that enable reductions in fuel use is the integration of component thermal management technologies within a viable vehicle package. Vehicle operation requires vehicle thermal management systems capable of balancing the needs of multiple vehicle systems that may require heat for operation, require cooling to reject heat, or require...

AND SUMMARY Autonomous Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI) systems (which include in-vehicle forwardand side-looking sensors) can be supplemented by vehicle-vehicle and vehiclehighway cooperative and, if possible, passive elements to comprise a “sensor-friendly” highway environment that would enhance the operational efficiency, and ultimately, the safety benefits of emerging IVI driver-assist ...

Research on vehicle longitudinal control with a stop and go system is presently one of the most important topics in the field of intelligent transportation systems. The purpose of stop and go systems is to assist drivers for repeatedly accelerate and stop their vehicles in traffic jams. This system can improve the driving comfort, safety and reduce the danger of collisions and fuel consumption....
