Recent advances of various wireless communication technologies and the emergence of computationally rich vehicles are pushing Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork (VANET) research to the forefront in academia and industry. A lot of research results have been published in various areas (such as routing, broadcasting, security, and others) of VANET in the last decade covering both Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) an...

Communication architectures integrating vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications will be the key of success for the next generation of cars. Nevertheless, the integration of these communication partners in the same platform is a challenging issue because most of the literature is focused on individual parts, such as V2V routing protocols or specific safety ser...

Many Driver Support Systems in future vehicles will rely on wireless communication. This wireless communication can be divided into two categories: Vehicle-toVehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I). V2V is often used for vehicles to exchange information of a local nature, e.g. co-operative following or collision avoidance. V2I can be used as ’smart road signs’, access to back-end netw...

We consider the problem of privacy (anonymity) and security in vehicular (V2V) communication, in particular securing routine safety messages. Traditional public key mechanisms are not appropriate for such applications because of the large number of safety messages that have to be transmitted by each vehicle, typically one message every 100−300ms. We first show that a recently proposed V2V commu...

Absolute positioning of vehicles is based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) combined with on-board sensors and high-resolution maps. In Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS), the positioning performance can be augmented by means of vehicular networks that enable vehicles to share location-related information. This paper presents an Implicit Cooperative Positioning (...

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication is currently a focus of research and standardization in the USA, Europe and Asia. It is believed that V2V safety applications are able to reduce traffic fatalities significantly. Data security was identified as a major technical aspect to resolve before potential deployment. In particular, communication security and priv...

This document is a brief survey of research literature on vehicular networking. Broadly speaking, research publications on vehicular networking can be grouped into two categories: (i) WAVE (IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609.1-1609.4) papers, and (ii) VANET papers. Papers on WAVE mostly assume single-hop V2V, V2I and I2V communications, while the VANET papers focus on multi-hop V2V networks. The sectio...

Future Internet and smart cities are creating a very promising paradigm for providing advanced services to citizens. The paradigm of e-Health forms a valuable yet demanding use case for design, develop, deploy and provide related services. The aim of LiveCity project is to empower the citizens of a city to interact with each other in a more productive efficient and socially useful way by using ...

Cooperative communications boasts attractive performance enhancements in vehicular communication environment. Amplify and Forward (AF) and Decode and Forward (DF) relaying have been proposed and analysed for vehicular networks in recent literature. For the study of performance enhancements in this area vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) channel model is crucial. Vehicu...
