The development of applications for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) has very specific and clear goals such as providing intellectual safe transport systems. An emergency warning technic for public safety is one of the applications which requires an intelligent broadcast mechanism to transmit warning messages quickly and efficiently against the time restriction. The broadcast storm problem causing several packet collisions and extra delay has to be considered to design a broadcast protocol for VANETs, when multiple nodes attempt transmission simultaneously at the access control layer. In this paper, we propose an early intelligent alert broadcasting (EI-CAST) algorithm to resolve effectively the broadcast storm problem and meet time-critical requirement. The proposed algorithm uses not only the early alert technic on the basis of time to collision (TTC) but also the intelligent broadcasting technic on the basis of fuzzy logic, and the performance of the proposed algorithm was compared and evaluated through simulation with the existing broadcasting algorithms. It was demonstrated that the proposed algorithm shows a vehicle can receive the alert message before a collision and have no packet collision when the distance of alert region is less than 4 km.

The reliability of broadcasting over vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is one of the most critical factors for driving safety applications. There exists limitations to improve the reliability of broadcast transmissions in saturated VANETs where previous proposals in literature tackle the problem by heuristically adapting the size of the contention window (CW). This paper considers improving the reliability by proposing a new probability model based on the counting methods of permutations and combinations, which counts all the possible cases of broadcast failures in a single-hop broadcast transmission for a given CW. From the model, we calculate the best CW size given the number of contention nodes, which significantly improves the reliability and satisfying the timely dissemination of emergency broadcasting messages. Through extensive VANET simulations with varying densities, we show that our model maintains near 100 percent success rate for single-hop broadcast as well as multi-hop broadcast (e.g. 40 hops) and achieves minimal broadcast delay.

Situation awareness for vehicles and pedestrians is very critical to ensure safety. While on-board sensors or systems can easily detect line-of-sight pedestrians, it is difficult to locate the positions of out-of-sight pedestrians especially with no GPS service. This paper proposes a method for accurate and on-time localization of indoor pedestrians by nearby vehicles. The proposed method is based on mobile ad-hoc networks among vehicles and pedestrians, without relying on infrastructures such as GPS, WiFi AP, and Bluetooth-based systems. Also, this paper develops a genetic algorithm to accurately and promptly locate pedestrians. Finally, simulation results are presented to quantitatively evaluate the proposed method compared to other studies.

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a special form of Mobile Ad-hoc Network designed to provide communications among nearby vehicles without communications infrastructure. Some characteristics in VANET environment such as high mobility, dynamic topology and selfishness of nodes can cause degradation of network quality. In this paper, we propose an adaptive incentive/topology control scheme to improve network quality in VANET by stimulating real time data forwarding and reporting changes of network topology. In the proposed scheme, an incentive suggested by the source node is updated in real time simultaneously with data transmission to stimulate real time data forwarding. In addition, when the order of the nodes in the path is changed, nodes which report the changes of network topology will get an additional incentive. By computer simulation, it is shown that the proposed incentive/topology control scheme outperforms the conventional schemes with respect to data delivery time and data delivery ratio.

VANET은 차량 이동 간 안전성 증가와 관련 응용정보를 처리하기 위해 고안된 ad-hoc 통신기반의 무선 네트워크 기술이다. VANET 환경을 이용하면 도로 교통 통제, 날씨 정보, 인터넷 등 다양한 서비스가 가능하다. VANET 환경을 위해서는 효과적인 노드간의 라우팅 프로토콜 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 VANET상에서 각 차량의 정보를 이용하여 차량 간 안정적인 통신을 위한 그룹화 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법을 통해 그룹화를 통한 라우팅 기법이 VANET 환경에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

A typical standard of vehicular ad hoc networks, WAVE which consists of IEEE 1609.x Family standards and IEEE 802.11p standard, includes the multi-channel coordination and channel synchronization function to provide safety services or public services during a car is driven. Generally, the performance of data communication and networking technologies is evaluated by using simulation tools, such as ns-2, OPNET, OPNET++, etc. However, these tools doesn't provide the operations of WAVE protocol. Therefore, in this paper, we implement and verify WAVE simulation program based on ns-2.

VANET(Vehicle Ad-hoc Network)은 통신 기능을 지원하는 지능형 차량들로 이루어진 애드혹 네트워크 환경으로써 최근 들어서 그 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행되고 있는 분야이다. VANET은 원활한 교통 소통, 사고 방지 등 여러 가지 편리한 기능들을 제공하지만, 그 기반을 애드혹 네트워크에 두고 있기 때문에 애드혹 네트워크에서 발생할 수 있는 보안 문제가 그대로 발생하며, 또한 그 환경적 특성에 따라 추가적인 보안 요구사항 역시 존재한다. VANET 환경에서 가장 중요하게 요구되는 보안요소는 협력 운전(cooperative driving) 시 메시지 인증, 무결성, 부인방지 등과 특정 차량에 대한 추적을 할 수 없도록 하는 위치 프라이버시 보호이다. 그러나 이 가운데 사용자의 위치 프라이버시는 조건적으로 신뢰기관에 의한 추적 역시 가능해야 한다는 조건을 포함한다. 본 논문에서는 L. Martucci 등이 제안한 자체적으로 생성하고 인증하는 pseudonym 기법[1]을 이용하여 이러한 보안 요구사항들을 만족시키는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 기법은 최초 차량 등록 시 받은 비밀 인자를 이용하여 보안 통신을 하며 추가적으로 신뢰 기관으로의 통신이 필요하지 않는 효율적인 보안 기법이다. 또한 기존 연구에서 발생했던 저장 공간의 문제, RSU(Road Side Unit) 접근 문제 등을 해결한다.

The emergency between vehicles on the superhighway should be transmitted quickly to the following vehicles for safety of people. The message between them has been transmitted by broadcast method in an wireless environment of 802.11, so far. That causes the broadcast storm and a waste of the bandwidth of Wireless network owing to unnecessary process of sending messages to even vehicles that do not have to receive the information. The message collision is a main cause of the increase of message delay. In order to overcome the existing problem, this paper proposed a message broadcast scheme based on cell (MBC), which is the way to divide cars into different groups by cell unit and transmit messages to the members of the groups through the cell primary (cp) vehicles. This paper shows the proposed broadcast's performance in the same environment is much superior to other conventional broadcast schems for inter-vehicle communication, since the receiving ratio among the following vehicles is improved.
