Connected Vehicles, V2V Communications, and VANET

Abstract

Communications between vehicles are seen as a solution for road transport problems, such as accidents, inefficiencies, traffic congestions, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions. However, before implementing such a solution, some preliminary analysis is needed. First, the most convenient communications technologies should be selected for each application and specific communications architecture should be deployed to support such services. Standardization is essential for successful deployment.[...]

Integrating tools for an effective testing of connected and automated vehicles technologies

“…The increasing complexity of these systems requires continuous reliability and verification tests, to guarantee safety, quantify possible advantages and evaluate arising issues [9]. However, an on-road test of the vehicle behaviour requires a considerable effort (e.g.…”
