Adaptive security provisioning for vehicular safety applications

Security Framework for Vehicular Applications

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) will enable new applications that increase safety and convenience of the passengers in the car. Most applications for VANETs are applications in a distributed system. They use information provided by different cars, and road side units. Different, sometimes complementary means exist to establish a trustworthy and privacy preserving system; they include certifi...

Computer Vision Analysis for Vehicular Safety Applications

In this paper, we present our research on using computer-vision analysis for vehicular safety applications. Our research has potential applications for both autonomous vehicles and connected vehicles. In particular, for connected vehicles, we propose three image analysis algorithms that enhance the quality of a vehicle’s on-board video before inter-vehicular information exchange takes place. Fo...

VS3: A Vehicular Surveillance and Sensing System for Security Applications

The Vehicular Surveillance and Sensing System (VS) is a 3G-based mobile device for car security applications. On the car side, it consists of a CO2 sensor, a camera module, a 3G module, and a microprocessor. On the user side, only a 3G mobile phone is needed. VS provides the following features: (i) it can be triggered by events detected on car, (ii) events can be abnormal air quality or potenti...

Efficient Routing for Safety Applications in Vehicular Networks

End-to-end performance in vehicular networks with an emphasis on safety and security applications

In wireless networks, the presence of interference among wireless links introduces dependencies among flows that do not share a single link or node. As a result, when designing a resource allocation scheme, be it a medium access scheduler or a flow rate controller, one needs to consider the interdependence among nodes within interference range of each other. Specifically, control plane informat...
