In the software development for vehicular embedded systems, timing predictability is paramount for the development of the vehicles’ safety features and for their customer value. Modern vehicles’ features require new level of computational power. On the one hand, multicore platforms can provide efficient support for these features. On the other hand, multi-core platforms complicate the software ...

Vehicular networking has established itself, in the short span of the last few years, as one of the most promising fields of research within the larger context of metropolitan-scale wireless networking. Enabling vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-toinfrastructure (V2I) communication, a pervasive deployment of vehicular networking technologies would have an unprecedented impact on mass road tr...

Induction loop detectors have become the most utilized sensors in traffic management systems. The gathered traffic data is used to improve traffic efficiency (i.e., warning users about congested areas or planning new infrastructures). Despite their usefulness, their deployment and maintenance costs are expensive. Vehicular networks are an emerging technology that can support novel strategies fo...

Now a day’s Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is an emerging technology. Mobility management is one of the most challenging research issues for VANETs to support variety of intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications. VANETs are getting importance for inter-vehicle communication, because they allow the communication among vehicles without any infrastructure, configuration effort, and wi...

The existence of Internet-connected navigation and infotainment systems is becoming a truth that will easily lead to a remarkable growth in bandwidth demand by in-vehicle users. This content downloading system will induce the vehicular user to use the resource to the same extent as today’s mobile customers. By this approach communication-enabled vehicles are paying attention in downloading diff...

The authors presented the contribution of gasoline vehicle exhaust to SOA formation in urban atmosphere. The manuscript indicated the importance of the vehicular gasoline compositions and clarified the principal problem of vehicular emissions for haze pollution in China. However, in your literature review, the authors missed some new findings. E. g. Tang et al. (2015) illustrated the difference...

Vehicular ad hoc networking is an emerging technology for future on-the-road communications. Due to the virtue of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are expected to enable a plethora of communication-based automotive applications including diverse in-vehicle infotainment applications and road safety services. Even though vehicles ...

The Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a promising new paradigm in the domain of wireless communication employed specially for providing road safety, comfort and convenience to the driver as well as passengers while on the way by the integration of various wireless network technologies, cellular technologies like 2G and 3G, sensors, GPS, Bluetooth etc. Due to higher mobility of nodes (vehicles...

An increasing share of the innovations emerging in the vehicular industry are implemented in software. Consequently, vehicular electrical systems are becoming more and more complex with an increasing number of functions, computational nodes and complex sensors, e.g., cameras and radars. The introduction of autonomous functional components, such as advanced driver assistance systems, highlight t...
