Inter vehicular communication is a technology where vehicles act as different nodes to form a network. In a vehicular network different vehicles communicate among each other via wireless access .Authentication is very crucial security service for inter vehicular communication (IVC) in Vehicular Information Network. It is because, protecting vehicles from any attempt to cause damage (misuse) to ...

In recent years, the majority of economic sectors in Brazil have gone through processes of development and transformation. These processes have led to increases in environmental pollution of all kinds; air pollution being one of the most adverse. The Brazilian transportation sector, which heavily affects the air quality, experienced a significant increase in its vehicle fleet thus provoking lar...

The applicability of magnetic susceptibility measurements was tested to detect soil contamination from a waste site deposit in the topsoil in the vicinity of the Independence Hall, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi. Magnetic susceptibility (volume specific) measurements of the near surface topsoil (~ 15 cm top layer) were taken along four radial profiles from th...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart failure, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly among African Americans. Exposure to ambient air pollution, such as that produced by vehicular traffic, is believed to be associated with heart failure, possibly by impairing cardiac function. We evaluated the cross-sectional association between residential proximity to major roads, ...

Dedicated short range communication (DSRC) relies on secure distribution to vehicles of a certificate revocation list (CRL) for enabling security protocols. CRL distribution utilizing vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications is preferred to an infrastructure-only approach. One approach to V2V CRL distribution, using rateless coding at the source and forwarding at vehicle relays is vulnerable to ...

The atmospheric pollution is one of the most important impacts of vehicular tratlc; air pollution levels and the over-saturated traffic conditions constitute severe problems in many cities. A large number of models, with different characteristics, has been proposed in order to simulate tratlic flow and related pollutant emissions. In this paper, a fuel consumption and pollutant emission model i...

Advances in vehicular networks, embedded devices and cloud computing will enable the formation of vehicular clouds of computing, communication, sensing, power and physical resources. Owing to the dynamic nature of the vehicular cloud, continuous monitoring on trust attributes in necessary to enforce service-level agreement, This paper proposes RA-VTrust, Reputationbased Adaptive Vehicular Trust...

Vehicular emission is a major environmental health problem in the world today especially developing countries including Nigeria. This study was centered on assessing vehicular emissions pollutants such as Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Formaldehyde (HCHO) and Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) Benin City, Edo State, The sampling of CO H2S gaseous done using H-4S gas analyzer...

BACKGROUND The effects of outdoor air pollution on lung function in adults are still controversial. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the effects of exposure to different levels of traffic-generated PM2.5 on workers' lung functions in São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS To cover a wide range of exposures, 101 non-smoking workers from three occupations (taxi drivers, traffic controllers, and forest rangers) were se...
