Analyzing the effects of V2V and ADAS-ACC penetration rates on the level of road safety in intersections: Evaluating simulation platforms SUMO and scene suite

Abstract: Integration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Vehicle to Vehicle communication (V2V) provide a wide range of applications with the potential to enhance road safety and prevent traffic accidents. During the last few years, significant attention has been paid to developing and implementing both systems, since V2V and ADAS are considered as key technologies of future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Prior to the implementation of these systems on vehicles, comprehensive analysis through exhaustive and realistic simulations is vital. This paper presents the developed methodology to improve road safety by modelling and simulating different penetration rates of V2V and ADAS-ACC (i.e. percentage of vehicles which have been equipped with either system) on three developed simulation scenarios in SUMO and “Scene Suite” showing the impact on road safety.

Towards Efficient Vehicle Classification in Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract: The classification of vehicles is an important task in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for applications such as analyzing traffic, checking for fraud, tracking targets, and other security applications. In the recent years, automated systems to recognize makes and models of oncoming vehicles are gaining attention, utilizing existing infrastructure of traffic cameras. To this end, we present an unexplored approach for vehicle make and model recognition (VMMR) and demonstrate its highly accurate and real-time performance, using a recently published real-world dataset. The encouraging results of our approach pave the way towards efficient large-scale and distributed vehicular surveillance in ITS.

The application of DSRC technology in Intelligent Transportation System

Abstract: DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) technology is specially developed for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Compared to other wireless communication technologies, DSRC technology has many advantages. This paper discusses the technical characteristics, communication mechanism, and the application of DSRC technology in ITS.

Methods for Improving the Flow of Traffic

Abstract: We describe a distributed and self-regulated approach for the self-organisation of a large system of many self-driven, mobile objects, i.e., cars in traffic. Based on methods for mobile ad-hoc networks using short-distance communication between vehicles, and ideas from distributed algorithms, we consider reactions to specific traffic structures (e.g., traffic jams.) Building on current models from traffic physics, we are able to develop strategies that significantly improve the flow of congested traffic. Results include fuel savings up to 40% for cars in stop-and-go traffic; we present a number of simulation results illustrating the underlying mechanisms. In addition, we discuss the organic structure of urban traffic, and hint at how self-healing methods can lead to improvements in rush-hour traffic.

An Enhanced Two-factor Authentication Protocol for V2V Communication in VANETs

Abstract: The objective of the vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) is to mobilize transportation systems along with the enhancement of safeguard and efficiency. Security and anonymity are important aspects of VANET too. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication fulfills most of the requirements in VANET except the security breaches. Authentication protocols are designed to improve security by validating legitimate users in V2V communication. In this research, we proposed a two-factor authentication protocol using user biometric-based and password-based, which can support minimum or no VANET infrastructure environments. Furthermore, we performed an informal security analysis on the aforesaid protocol and shown the security features of it. We further discussed the future scope of the research in the field of VANET authentication.
