Vehicular Ad Hoc Network(VANET) using wireless network is offering the communications between vehicle and vehicle(V2V) or vehicle and infrastructure(V2I). VANET is being actively researched from industry field and university because of the rapid developments of the industry and vehicular automation. Information, collected from VANET, of velocity, acceleration, condition of road and environments provides various services related with safe drive to the drivers, so security over network is the inevitable factor. For the secure message authentication, a number of authentication proposals have been proposed. Among of them, a scheme, proposed by Jung, applying database search algorithm, Bloom filter, to RAISE scheme, is efficient authentication algorithm in a dense space. However, k-anonymity used for obtaining the accurate vehicular identification in the paper has a weak point. Whenever requesting the righteous identification, all hash value of messages are calculated. For this reason, as the number of car increases, a amount of hash operation increases exponentially. Moreover the paper does not provide a complete key exchange algorithm while the hand-over operation. In this paper, we use a Received Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI) based velocity and distance estimation algorithm to localize the identification and provide the secure and efficient algorithm in which the problem of hand-over algorithm is corrected.

A vehicle localization technology is an essential component to support many smart-vehicle applications, e.g. collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and so on. In this paper, we present a new vehicle localization algorithm based on the fusion of the sensing estimates from the local sensors and the GPS estimates from the inter-vehicle communications. The proposed algorithm consists of the greedy location data mapping algorithm and the position refinement algorithm. The former maps a sensing estimate with a GPS estimate based on the distance between themselves, and then the latter refines the GPS estimate of the subject vehicle based on the law of large numbers. From the numerical results, we demonstrate that the accuracy of the proposed algorithm outperforms that of the existing GPS estimates by at least 30 % in the longitudinal direction and by at least 60% in the lateral direction.

In this paper, we propose an authentication scheme for EVPT (Emergency Vehicle Priority Transit) service in Vehiclar Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) enable a variety of vehicle comfort services, traffic management applications, and infotainment services. These are the basis for a new generation of preventive and active safety functions. By intelligently controlling signalling at intersections, providing additional information to the driver and warning the driver in critical situations. we therefore focus on vehicle-to-infrastructure communication for the authentication between emergency vehicles and traffic lights system. This authentication process should identify the vehicle, and provide privacy protection.

사무실과 가정의 컴퓨터, 대중화된 휴대폰 사용 그리고 인터넷으로 특징지어지는 정보통신 기술덕택에 현대인은 어느 정도 시간과 공간의 제약을 극복하고 있다. 그러나, 아직도 현대인은 예전에 비해 가까워진 지구촌을 여러 가지 이동체를 타고 이동을 하여야한다. 특히 현대인에게 있어서 자동차는 가정과 직장을 이어주고 업무 목적지와 휴식을 위한 휴양지를 찾아가기 위한 실질적인 이동 수단으로서 가정과 직장에 이은 또 하나의 정보통신기술이 필요한 중요한 영역이다. 따라서 미래형 자동차는 편의 주행, 쾌적 주행을 제공하고 그리고 안전 주행이 보장되는 지능형 자동차의 수요가 예견되고 있으며 이를 구현하기위해 첨단 정보통신, 전자, 제어기술이 요구되고 있다. [1][5][6] 이상과 같은 지능형 자동차 관련 응용 분야는 위 그림과 같이 자동차 여러 부위에 장착되는 첨단 전장품들에 의해서 구현이 된다. 그러나, 기존의 자동차와 달리 미래형 지능형 자동차에서는 많은 전장품들이 장착됨에따라 소요되는 전원의 용량이 증가하게되어 기존 12V에서 42V 시스템으로 바뀔 예정이다. 또한 각종 센서로부터 정보신호를 받아서 정보처리를 하고 Actuator를 제어하기 위해서 많은 전장품들간에 연결되는 신호선들의 배선이 복잡해짐에따라 생산부서에서의 공정비용이 증가하게된다. 또한 향후 석유 에너지의 고갈에 따른 전기 자동차로의 전환이 예상되는데 위에서 언급된 많은 전자장치들간 신호를 주고 받기위해 차량내 여러부위로 퍼져있는 배선들이 차지하는 무게가 상당하므로 차체의 무게를 가볍게 해야하는 차세대 전기 자동차의 성능 향상을 위해서 효율적인 In Vehicular Network 기술이 요구된다. 또한 향후 자동차에 장착된 많은 전자장치들의 고장 진단 및 내장된 SW를 효율적으로 갱신하기 위해서는 여러 전자장치들이 하나의 버스로 연결되는 In Vehicle network이 필수적이다.

A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is a form of Mobile ad-hoc network, to provide temporary communications among nearby vehicles. Mobile node of VANET consumes energy and resource with participating in the member of network. Some node tends to have a selfishness to place one's own profits above cooperation with others. As result of selfish node, it reduces data accessibility and the efficiency of networks. In this paper, we propose noble method, Friendship-VaR that excludes selfish nodes from a group of VANET. Friendship-VaR enables to improve data accessibility by eliminating selfish nodes and sharing data among reliable nodes. Friendship-VaR determines selfishness of nodes by simple data exchange. The experiments shows proposed method outperform existing method in terms of data accessibility.

Intelligent vehicles are equipped with radar sensors for collision avoidance. We present a method of suppressing mutual interference among pulse-type radars, where all the radars are standardized. We developed a method of separating the true self-reflection from the false one by controlling the pulse emission of a radar in anorhogonal ON, OFF pattern. Interference signal identified in OFF-intervals is recorded to indicate the positions of the expected ghosts in ON-intervals. PFA and PM are derived for a radar system with I-Q demodulation scheme, where Gaussian noise alone is Rayleigh-distributed and Gaussian noise plus reflected radar pulse are Rician-distributed. The value of the threshold adaptively updated in order to prevent the deterioration of PM. In the experimental result, PFA decreases by an order of 10,000, when compared with the conventional M of N majority voting method.

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is one of technologies to realize various ITS services for safe driving and efficient traffic control. However, data delivery in VANETs is complicated due to high mobility and unreliable wireless transmission. In this paper, we develop a novel forwarding scheme to deliver packets in a reliable and timely manner. The proposed forwarding scheme uses traffic statistics to predict the encounter of two vehicles, and optimize its forwarding decision by taking into consideration the probability of successful transmission between them at the encounter place. We evaluate our scheme through simulations and show that our proposed scheme provides reliable data delivery in VANETs.

This paper introduces reliable multicast MAC protocol for cooperative unmanned vehicles. cooperative unmanned vehicles communicate with infrastructure and other unmanned vehicles in order to increase driving safety. They exchange information related to driving and thus it requires real-time and reliable multicast. However, the international vehicular communication standard, IEEE 802.11p WAVE, does not provide a reliable multicast scheme on the MAC layer. To address the problems of reliability, we propose a reliable multicast protocol called WiVCL, which avoids contention and collision. Our evaluation shows that the WiVCL achieves a high degree of reliability and real-time features.

It is a concern that eco-driving vehicles, because their driving behavior differs from other vehicles due to e.g. e-start, may inhibit smooth traffic flow. Therefore, it is necessary to study the cooperative eco-driving done by a vehicle group, putting "vehicle-to-vehicle communication" and "road-to-vehicle communication" into perspective. Based on these factors, this study aimed to: 1) Analyze fuel consumption rates and driving behaviors of more than one vehicle following an Eco-Driving vehicle. 2) Examine the effect of information on the fuel consumption rate of the preceding vehicles on the following vehicles. As a result, the following findings were obtained: 1) By providing information to multiple following vehicles, the fuel consumption rate of the second vehicle was not lowered, while that of the third one was. 2) It is possible that, when information on fuel consumption of a preceding vehicle is provided to the following one, an inter-vehicular distance is shortened during deceleration to contribute to smooth traffic flow. From the above results, it is suggested that, when targeting a vehicle group, sharing the information on preceding vehicles is effective.
