1. Introduction The development of intelligent vehicle safety systems is rapidly moving from autonomous systems relying on vehicle's own sensors towards cooperative systems utilising communications between vehicles or between infrastructure and vehicles. The paper discusses the results of two recent European studies assessing the socio economic impacts of intelligent vehicle systems, including ...

The idea of vehicle-highway communications sufficient to assume driving functions for the driver is not new. Researchers have articulated both its value and feasibility for several decades; and military and vehicle manufacturer test facility developments have proven the concept’s viability. As mounting congestion conflicts with environmental constraints, the Automated Highway System (AHS) promi...

In the current vehicle coexist electronic and communications systems whose advantages are clear for the user but whose possible problems are not contrasted. The increasing use of radio frequency transmitters by automobile users makes it necessary to evaluate the risk caused by the coexistence of information and communication technologies in the reduced space inside the vehicle. In this AbstrAct

The connected vehicle is becoming a reality, and both centralised applications provided through telecommunication infrastructure, cooperative achieved directly by the vehicles vehicle-to-vehicle communications are gaining lot of interest from public. Though several solutions have been investigated to ensure identification privacy protection participating in these applications, only few works ad...

Through the use of a virtual tractor-trailer link model, vehicle following capabilities have been implemented without the need of communications links between the two vehicles or the installation of special road infrastructure. The principle is based on the modeling of an off-hooked trailer system as a software link between the lead and led vehicles. The leader vehicle is modeled as the tractor...

The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) issued a proposed rule on January 12th, 2017 to mandate vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) safety communications in light vehicles in the US. Cybersecurity and privacy are major challenges for such a deployment. The authors present a Security Credential Management System (SCMS) for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications in this paper, which has been develop...

The paper addresses the problem of making a set of vehicles follow a a set of given spatial paths at required speeds, while ensuring that they reach and maintain a desired formation pattern. Problems of this kind arise in a number of practical applications involving ground and underwater robots. The paper summarizes and brings together in a unified framework previous results obtained by the aut...
