VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc Network) is a special kind of ad hoc network in which each vehicle is regarded as a communication unit, which has attracted lots of attention in recent years. Vehicle's movement is restricted by road and environment in VANET, while traditional random mobility model and way-point mobility model can't reflect the realistic vehicle traces. How to evaluate wireless routing protocol...
Routing protocols in Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) have drawn lots of attention in recent years, most existing research efforts focus on designing IP-based protocols. In this paper, we present a new routing protocol for VANET based on Named Data Network (NDN). We optimize the routing path by using a new distance metric in the protocol, avoiding the shortcomings of hop-count based metric. Moreover,...
A main challenge to wireless network performance management is how to estimate and monitor the wireless network coverage. In this paper a novel Machine to Machine (M2M) facilitated wireless network coverage prediction and real-time monitoring method is proposed. This method uses the telematics devices in connected vehicles to measure the wireless network performance with an auto-adaptive scheduling...
In this paper, a novel algorithm which optimally regulates the generator voltage was proposed. With this method, terminal voltage that applied on the battery was limited and optimized to an ideal range to save the electrical energy and protect the lead-acid battery from damages such as sharp charging pulse or over charging (discharging). This generator regulation model is implemented in Matlab/Simulink...
Based on ISO standard 2631 and average absorbed power method, the data of half-load sand road test of EQ2050 are processed, and the overall weighted acceleration RMS and average absorbed power are calculated respectively. By using the least squares method, the relation between the two evaluation indexes is fitted and the estimation formula of average absorbed power is proposed. By changing the load...
Modern vehicle electronics control units (ECUs) are getting rapidly complicated because of active safety and semi-autonomous driving controls, such as electric stability program (ESP) and adaptive cruise control (ACC). Furthermore, the operational environment of ECUs is extremely harsh, especially in terms of an ambient temperature well exceeding 100°C, which causes a very small temperature headroom...
Bus signal priority at signalized intersections has demonstrated as an efficient and realizable approach to reduce bus delays. However the impact on passenger delays still needs to be analyzed after bus signal priority. This paper proposes a passenger delays reduction model by using the delay triangle. Taking a two-phase signalized intersection for example, it is found that the passenger delays reduction...
Most approaches to vehicle tracking have adopted a single calibrated camera for the task, which leads to an under-conditioned problem. We present a surveillance system for on-line vehicle tracking based on two cameras and structure from motion (SfM). Our surveillance system starts by tracking feature points. A novel matching scheme is proposed that allows a subset of feature points to be corresponded...
Vehicle safety communication applications require safety messages to be received by all the targeted vehicles within their lifetime. We propose a piggybacked cooperative repetition approach for reliably broadcasting safety messages in VANETs. Repetitions by neighbors that receive the original transmission can effectively cover the areas that are missed in the original transmissions. Moreover, the...
One-hop broadcasting is the predominate form of network traffic in VANETs. Exchanging status information by broadcasting among the vehicles enhances vehicular active safety. Since there is no MAC layer broadcasting recovery for 802.11 based VANETs, efforts should be made towards more robust and effective transmission of such safety-related information. In this paper, a channel adaptive broadcasting...
