Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) employ multichannel to provide a variety of safety and non-safety applications, based on the IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609.4 protocols. The safety applications require timely and reliable transmissions, while the non-safety applications require efficient and high throughput. In the IEEE 1609.4 protocol, operating interval is divided into alternating Control Chann...

Most accidents happens because of lack of Visibility and not Driver’s reaction on time whenan accident occurs. Increasing required Time for driver’s reaction caused to decreasingaccidents on roadways .intelligent vehicle networks brings enough time for reaction by sendingalert and alternate messages to vehicles on roadway. Main propose in this paper is aroundmodulation on Reception interval Saf...

Safety cases offer a means for communicating information about the system safety among the system stakeholders. Recently, the requirement for a safety case has been considered by regulators for safety-critical systems. Adopting safety cases is necessarily dependent on the value added for regulatory authorities. In this work, we outline a structured approach for assessing the level of sufficienc...

In this paper we introduce the Cluster-Based Beacon Dissemination Process (CB-BDP) that aims to provide vehicles with a local vehicle proximity map of their vicinity. Based on this map, safety applications can be used for accident prevention by informing drivers about evolving hazardous situations. The CB-BDP is designed under the two following objectives. First, since it is used for safety app...

Cooperative vehicular ad-hoc networks are currently under development for improving traffic safety and efficiency. The strict requirements of traffic safety applications demand robust communication protocols that are able to efficiently operate under diverse and challenging operating conditions. In this context, this work proposes the joint study and evaluation of cooperative applications with ...

Over the last few years, embedded systems have been increasingly used in safetycritical applications where failure can have serious consequences. The design of these systems is a complex process, which is requiring the integration of common design methods both in hardware and software to fulfill functional and non-functional requirements for these safety-critical applications. Design patterns, ...

In many cases, crashes at intersections account for over 50% of all urban road accidents. The need to reduce these crashes has fostered considerable research on the development and evaluation of traffic safety at intersections. This paper introduces a micro-level behavioral method for estimating crash potential at signalized and unsignalized intersections for different traffic characteristics. ...
