Harnessing retroreflective transportation infrastructure for intelligent vehicle positioning Veh. Commun. (IF 4.706) Pub Date : 2020-02-13 Sihua Shao, Abdallah Khreishah
The popularity of intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications urges the development of vehicle positioning system that satisfies the availability, precision and accuracy requirements. Lane level (the exact lane on the road) positioning or even in-lane level (the exact location within the lane) positioning are expected in all driving environments at all times. In addition to the existing vehicle

Context-aware opportunistic computing in vehicle-to-vehicle networks Veh. Commun. (IF 4.706) Pub Date : 2020-01-30 Anis Ur Rahman, Asad Waqar Malik, Vishwani Sati, Arpita Chopra, Sri Devi Ravana
Recent advancement in communication among smart devices, vehicular fog computing introduces new dimensions for delay-sensitive applications. The traditional computing paradigm to install edge locations is no longer viable due to incurred latency while decision making, especially in delay-sensitive applications. In this paper, we propose a vehicle-to-vehicle task offloading framework that allows vehicles

Addressing spectrum efficiency through hybrid-duplex UAV communications: Challenges and opportunities Veh. Commun. (IF 4.706) Pub Date : 2020-01-30 Zheng Hui Ernest Tan, A.S. Madhukumar, Rajendra Prasad Sirigina, Anoop Kumar Krishna
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are set to play a prominent role in next-generation communications networks. However, the shortage of available spectrum to support UAV communications is a crucial challenge towards realizing multi-UAV networks. To this end, a hybrid-duplex (HBD) UAV communication system, i.e., HBD-UCS, is a potential solution towards improving spectrum efficiency in UAV communications

Enabling performance and security simulation studies of intelligent traffic signal light control with VENTOS-HIL Veh. Commun. (IF 4.706) Pub Date : 2020-01-30 Bryan Ching, Mani Amoozadeh, Chen-Nee Chuah, H. Michael Zhang, Dipak Ghosal
Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) simulators have gained widespread adoption in the research community given the fact that they can simulate near real life scenarios to evaluate driver-safety applications without endangering human lives. In this paper, we present the VEhicular NeTwork Open Simulator (VENTOS), a closed-loop VANET simulator that combines the capabilities of both communication network
