This study is situated in the context of intelligent transport systems, where in-vehicle devices assist drivers to avoid accidents and therefore improve road safety. The vehicles present in a given area form an ad' hoc network of vehicles called vehicular ad' hoc network. In this type of network, the nodes are mobile vehicles and the messages exchanged are messages to warn about obstacles that may hinder the correct driving. Node mobilities make it impossible for inter-node communication to be end-to-end. Recognizing this characteristic has led to delay-tolerant vehicular networks. Embedded devices have small buffers (memory) to hold messages that a node needs to transmit when no other node is within its visibility range for transmission. The performance of a vehicular delay-tolerant network is closely tied to the successful management of the nodes' transit buffer. In this paper, we propose a message transit buffer management model for nodes in vehicular delay tolerant networks. This model consists in setting up, on the one hand, a policy of dropping messages from the buffer when the buffer is full and must receive a new message. This drop policy is based on the concept of intermediate node to destination, queues and priority class of service. It is also based on the properties of the message (size, weight, number of hops, number of replications, remaining time-to-live, etc.). On the other hand, the model defines the policy for selecting the message to be transmitted. The proposed model was evaluated with the ONE opportunistic network simulator based on a 4000m x 4000m area of downtown Bouaké in Côte d'Ivoire. The map data were imported using the Open Street Map tool. The results obtained show that our model improves the delivery ratio of security alert messages, reduces their delivery delay and network overload compared to the existing model. This improvement in communication within a network of vehicles can contribute to the improvement of road safety.

The concept of trust in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is usually utilized to assess the trustworthiness of the received data as well as that of the sending entities. The quality of safety applications in VANETs largely depends on the trustworthiness of exchanged data. In this paper, we propose a self-organized distributed trust computing framework (DTCF) for VANETs to compute the trustworthiness of each vehicle, in order to filter out malicious nodes and recognize fully trusted nodes. The proposed framework is solely based on the investigation of the direct experience among vehicles without using any recommendation system. A tier-based dissemination technique for data messages is used to filter out non authentic messages and corresponding events before even going farther away from the source of the event. Extensive simulations are conducted using Omnet++/Sumo in order to investigate the efficiency of our framework and the consistency of the computed trust metrics in both urban and highway environments. Despite the high dynamics in such networks, our proposed DTCF is capable of detecting more than 85% of fully trusted vehicles, and filtering out virtually all malicious entities. The resulting average delay to detect malicious vehicles and fraudulent data is showed to be less than 1 second, and the computed trust metrics are shown to be highly consistent throughout the network.

본 논문에서는 차량통신망 내 V2I(Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) 환경에서 이동 중인 차량에게 끊김없는 인터넷 접속 서비스를 제공하기 위한 이동성 관리 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 PMIPv6(Proxy Mobile IPv6) 기반 이동성 관리 기법은 근거리 이동성 관리 프로토콜로 원거리 이동성을 가지는 차량통신 망에 그대로 적용하기는 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차량통신망 환경에서 PMIPv6 프로토콜 적용을 위한 두 가지 시나리오를 도출하고 각 시나리오에서 요구되는 원거리 이동성 관리 기법을 제안한다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안 기법이 인터넷 서비스 단절시간을 크게 감소 시킬 수 있음을 보였다.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are a practical application class of wireless ad hoc networks, which consist of moving vehicles equipped with radio communication capabilities that collaborate to form a temporary network. This paper addresses issues and protocols of multihop routing in such emerging networks in the context of safety and infotainment applications. Due to the highly dynamic mobility of vehicles, frequent link breakage and short connection time are inevitable and, thus, the routing is a challenging task and interest for many researchers and industrial community. The frequent and dynamic change of topology makes the topology-based routing unreliable but the position-based routing more effective. The position-based routing consists of the location service which maps a node id to a geo-graphical position and the forwarding scheme which selects the next hop based on geo-graphical information of the node, its neighbors and the destination. The routing techniques are further categorized into geographical forwarding, trajectory forwarding and opportunistic forwarding based on the forwarding scheme. In this paper, we first present the distinguished properties of VANETs and the challenges and intractable issues posed in designing the routing protocols, followed by the comprehensive survey of existing routing protocols. Then, the different routing protocols designed for VANETs are compared in terms of characteristics, performance and application domains.

In this paper, we propose an efficient authentication protocol based on certificateless signature scheme, which does not need any infrastructure to deal with certification of public keys, among the vehicles in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks. Moreover, the proposed protocol introduces the concept of interval signature key for efficiently solving the problem of certificate revocation.

Neural networks are explored as an alternative to a regres-sion model for prediction of the number of daily household vehicular trips. This study focuses on contrasting a neural network model with a regression model in term of variable selection as well as the appli-cation of these models for prediction of extreme observations, The differences in the models regarding data transformation variable selec-tion and multicollinearity are considered. The results indicate that the neural network model is a viable alternative to the regression model for addressing both messy data problems and limitation in variable structure specification.

미국을 중심으로 상업용 무인비행체에 대한 규제가 명시된 조건하에 완화되어 관련 산업의 발전이 예상된다. 이에 따라 2017년에 미국에서 약 60만대에 이르는 무인비행체가 운용될 것으로 예상되지만 안전사고의 문제로 무인비행체의 자율 비행에 제약이 따른다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 무인비행체의 충돌을 방지하고 경로를 탐색하는 연구가 진행되었으나, 경로 탐색 과정에서 상황에 따른 동적인 대처가 불가능하고 효율적인 경로 유도가 되지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해당 문제를 해결하기 위하여 차량 네트워크를 이용한 중앙관리방식의 무인비행체 경로 유도 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 방식은 차량 통신용 네트워크가 경로 탐색의 주체가 되어 무인비행체를 데이터 패킷과 같이 라우팅의 대상으로 처리하여, 무인비행체가 직접 처리할 경로 탐색 과정을 줄이기 때문에 무인비행체의 에너지 효율성을 증가시킬 수 있고, 동일한 네트워크 내 무인비행체들의 전체적인 비행 흐름을 미리 파악하여 갑작스런 혼잡현상을 미연에 대비할 수 있으므로 무인비행체 라우팅 효율을 개선할 수 있다.

차량통신에서는 안전한 통신을 제공하기 위해 공캐키 방식을 적용하고 있다. 이를 위해 인증서 취소목록(CRL)은 공격자나 고장난 차량으로부터 보호하고, 차량 네트워크의 전반적인 보안과 안전을 증대시키키 위해 모든 차량에게 빠르게 전파되어야 한다. 즉, 인증서 취소목록을 어떻게 효율적으로 배포할 것인지가 매우 중요해진다. 이를 고려하여 본 논문에서는 T-DMB의 데이터 서비스를 이용한 CRL 분배 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 T-DMB 데이터 방송 채널을 이용하여 통신의 신뢰성 확대, 네트워크 커버리지 확대, CRL 실시간 전달을 가능하게 한다. 그리고 기지국(RSU)들이 성글게 설치되거나 설치되지 않은 지역에서도 차량들은 T-DMB 인프라를 통해 최신의 CRL들을 획득할 수 있다. 이 기법을 완성하기 위해 새로운 TPEG 응용 서비스를 설계하였다.

A Certificate Revocation List(CRL) should be distributed quickly to all the vehicles for vehicular communications to protect them from malicious users and malfunctioning equipment as well as to increase the overall security and safety of vehicular networks. Thus, a major challenge in vehicular networks is how to efficiently distribute CRLs. This paper proposes a Multimedia Object Transfer(MOT) protocol based on CRL distribution scheme over T-DMB infrastructure. To complete the proposed scheme, a handoff method, CRL encoding rules based on the MOT protocol, and relative comparison are presented. The scheme can broaden breadth of network coverage and can get real-time delivery with enhanced transmission reliability. Even if road side units are sparsely deployed or, even not deployed, vehicles can obtain recent CRLs from T-DMB infrastructure effectively.

Clustering is one of the key technologies in vehicular networks. Constructing and maintaining stable clusters is a challenging task in high mobility environments. DWCM (Distributed and Weighted Clustering based on Mobility Metrics) is proposed in this paper based on the d-hop dominating set of the network. Each vehicle is assigned a priority that describes the cluster relationship. The cluster structure is determined according to the d-hop dominating set, where the vehicles in the d-hop dominating set act as the cluster head nodes. In addition, cluster maintenance handles the cluster structure changes caused by node mobility. The rationality of the proposed algorithm is proven. Simulation results in the NS-2 and VanetMobiSim integrated environment demonstrate the performance advantages.
