The Smart cities are a relevant topic nowadays. It attracts most researchers and governmental authorities, due to the vision to adopt technology information and communication in this context, to facilitate access to urban services. Security stills a permanent challenge that affects most smart cities applications. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANets) is one of those applications, classified in the smart...
Many Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) applications require the vehicle's location information to be available at anytime and anywhere within the network. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication allows the exchange of mobility data, which includes position, speed and heading information, that can be used for location estimation. However, if the exchanged mobility data contains invalid or wrong information,...
Vehicle position is one of the most valuable pieces of information in a Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET). The main contribution of this work is a novel approach to enhancing position security in VANETs. We propose a general active detection architecture including two components: eye-devices and ear-devices. Eye-devices include radar, infrared, camera, etc. Ear-device is the wireless transceiver. We...
Localization and exchanged position information plays a big role in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANET). Several network services and applications, such as safety messages, require location information. The data are exchanged between vehicles within their radio communication range. In real life implementation, direct communication can be interfered and blocked by obstacles on the road preventing two...
An increasingly large number of cars are being equipped with global positioning system and Wi-Fi devices, enabling vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication with the goal of providing increased passenger and road safety. This technology actuates the need for agents that assist users by intelligently processing the received information. Some of these agents might become self-interested and try to maximize...
Acquiring and securing position information is of fundamental importance in vehicular ad hoc networks and their applications. Recently, it has been shown that securing position information can be achieved by enlisting the help of on-board radar devices that have seen a phenomenal penetration of the vehicular market. However, most on-board radar devices have a static range and this can cause a number...
