Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Vehicular networks have been considered as a promising solution to achieve better traffic management and to improve the driving experience of drivers. In vehicular networks, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services, e.g., on-road traffic information exchange and location-based services, are provided to facilitate road safety for vehicles and traffic management for the relevant authorities. With the rapid growth of the number of vehicles, the vehicular network becomes heterogeneous, dynamic, and large-scale, and it is difficult to meet the strict requirements of the fifth generation network, such as extremely high delay, high mobility, top-level security, and huge connection. Moreover, in view of the problems of dynamic topology change, serious channel decline and limited spectrum resources in the vehicular network, as well as how to realize efficient, fast, and reliable information interaction in the harsh network environment, is also an urgent problem to be solved.

The purpose of this special issue is to invite researchers to submit their original research or summary papers on vehicular communication based on networks to solve the problems mentioned above. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • architecture, design, and planning of vehicular network;
  • protocol, software, and analysis of vehicular network;
  • key technology, security, and application of vehicular network;
  • v2x communications, including v2v and v2i communication, etc.;
  • transmission technologies, communication theory/protocols;
  • vehicular antennas, propagation, rf design;
  • on-board computer, man–machine interface, and sensor;
  • cloud computing, big data, and telematics.

Nowadays, automotive wire harnesses have become very complex systems as the number of electronic components and Electronic Control Units (ECUs) inside a vehicle have increased dramatically. To manage this complexity, and to support the automotive systems of tomorrow, new communication techniques need to be investigated. In this work, a direct modulated Power-Line Communication (PLC) method is proposed to drastically reduce the number of interconnections and give advantages in cost, complexity, and weight. Two transmitter topologies based on a Switching Capacitor approach are presented and implemented in a Test Chip fabricated in a 180 nm HV-CMOS SOI technology. The proposal is validated by communication tests connecting the designed chip and a discrete component-based demonstrator receiver through an unshielded twisted pair cable. Compared to commercially available solutions, the proposed approach can reach a data rate of 2 Mbps, making it able to implement high-speed event-driven networks, such as the Controller Area Network (CAN).

With the dawn of the emerging technologies in the field of vehicular environment, connected vehicles are advancing at a rapid speed. The advancement of such technologies helps people daily, whether it is to reach from one place to another, avoid traffic, or prevent any hazardous incident from occurring. Safety is one of the main concerns regarding the vehicular environment when it comes to developing applications for connected vehicles. Connected vehicles depend on messages known as basic safety messages (BSMs) that are repeatedly broadcast in their communication range in order to obtain information regarding their surroundings. Different kinds of attacks can be initiated by a vehicle in the network with malicious intent by inserting false information in these messages, e.g., speed, direction, and position. This paper focuses on the position falsification attacks that can be carried out in the vehicular environment and be avoided using the multi-BSM approach. Multi-BSM uses consecutive multiple BSMs with different parameters to detect and warn other vehicles about position falsification attacks. Multi-BSM is compared to other anomaly detection algorithms and evaluated with rigorous simulations. Multi-BSM shows a high level of anomaly detection, even in high vehicle density, with up to 97% accuracy rate compared to the respective algorithms. Full article

Chinese driver behavior in heterogeneous traffic is commonly available, but it is difficult to acquire due to view limitations and sensor limitations. In this study, Chinese typical lane change behavior in car-truck heterogeneous traffic flow was collected and analyzed using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The velocity of ego vehicle, relative velocity and distance of ego and surrounding vehicles, time to collision (TTC), time headway (THW) at the lane change moment, and brake and accelerate reaction time during lane changes were investigated. Results showed that large differences existed in various car follow types and lane change types. Cars drove more aggressively than trucks with shorter reaction times, and cars would change lanes at a longer distance when facing trucks. Smaller TTC and THW were found for trucks when facing cars. Chinese drivers showed more frequent lane-change maneuvers and shorter reaction times compared to other countries. The driver characteristic in China provided data support for the training of artificial intelligence-based decision algorithms, the development of a localized system, and the design of roads.

For improving the performance of ADAS and AD system in China, the driving behavior of Chinese drivers is being increasingly focused. The purpose of this study is to investigate the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of typical Chinese driving behavior, by using UAV to capture and extract them. Traffic flow rate, traffic density, velocity, acceleration and offset from the lane center were acquired and their influence by the vehicle types and lane types studied. Minimum TTC and THW during lane changing and car following and their influence by following types and lane types were also studied. Results showed that the Chinese traffic state was more stable than in Germany, however, with more aggressive behavior, compared to HighD. The entire velocity was small due to strict speed regulation in China. Different characteristics were found for different vehicle types, following types and lanes. Car and car-car following showed more dangerous potential. Cars tended to drive left and trucks tended to right of the lane center. Conclusions can be made that Chinese driving behavior is largely different from German driving behavior. These driver characteristics in China provided data support for the training of an AI-based decision algorithm, development from a localized system and design of roads. Full article

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) provides a safe and reliable means of transferring data between vehicles. The document describes the transmission systems, protocols, networks, taxonomy, and applications of Intelligent Systems. Detailed analysis of the existing transmission flow systems is required, including classification, standards, coverage, applications, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The adaptability of transmission networks, such as ad hoc, hybrid, mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), has a significant advantage. Described protocols for a variety of communication types, including routing techniques, platforms, structures, and the use of information areas as well. The use of intelligent technology can determine reliable, comfortable, safe, and trustworthy vehicular communication. This paper analyzes the current vehicular communication (VC) research flow and their deployments with indicated areas where further development is necessary. This paper examines how emerging technologies in the upcoming markets will enable the development of high-featured VC technologies. The challenges of improving upon existing VC systems in the development of future systems are discussed in this paper, including medium selection, link and service quality, security, channel characteristics, and mobility. The purpose of this study is to identify the need for the development of improved VC technologies, networks, and protocols for a wide range of applications in the future. Full article
