Virtual Induction Loops Based on Cooperative Vehicular Communications

On the Performance Analysis of Cooperative Vehicular Communication

Vehicular networking is envisioned to be a key technology area for significant growth in the coming years. Although the expectations for this emerging technology are set very high, many practical aspects remain still unsolved for a vast deployment of vehicular networks. This dissertation addresses the enabling physical layer techniques to meet the challenges in vehicular networks operating in m...

Guest Editorial "Vehicular Cloud Networking"

Vehicular ad-hoc networks have gained a significant attention during the last decades from the industry and academia with the goals of increasing road safety and traffic management among others. However, vehicles are normally constrained by resources, including computation, storage, and radio spectrum bandwidth. Many emerging applications demand complex computation and large storage, including ...

Cooperative Vehicular Traffic Monitoring in Realistic Low Penetration Scenarios: The COLOMBO Experience

The relevance of effective and efficient solutions for vehicle traffic surveillance is widely recognized in order to enable advanced strategies for traffic management, e.g., based on dynamically adaptive and decentralized traffic light management. However, most related solutions in the literature, based on the powerful enabler of cooperative vehicular communications, assume the complete penetra...

Decode-and-Forward cooperative vehicular relaying for LTE-A MIMO-downlink

Fail Silent Road Side Unit for Vehicular Communications

After almost a decade of R&D, vehicular communications for cooperative systems and its enabling technologies, mostly relying on IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609.1-4 family of standards, are in their trial phase, as some major field operational tests are being carried out. Nevertheless, there are still some open problems concerning the timeliness, dependability and security of IEEE 802.11p based commu...
