Overview
The concept of a smart city has attracted attention from many countries. Intelligent transportation is the critical component in a smart city. To achieve intelligent transportation, all vehicles must be aware of the local and nearby traffic situations to avoid traffic jams. This requires that a vehicle should keep real-time, continuous communications with nearby vehicles as well as the road traffic base stations that connect to the city infrastructure. Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-infrastructure Communications: A Technical Approach covers the communication hardware and software details as well as system integration models for two important vehicle communication types: vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. The book starts with a summary of the technical challenges for both types (V2X) of communications, network architectures, protocol stack, and how V2X systems can be used to detect congestion locations and levels. It then introduces a comprehensive and comparative study in a city environment of representative routing protocols developed for inter-vehicular networks and wireless mobile ad hoc networks. The section on V2X Networking Schemes discusses three important network types: Dedicated short-range communication (DSRC), In-cabin Wi-Fi, and Vehicle light communications. The next section on V2X Applications introduces some interesting applications that are based on a V2X platform. The discussion then turns to Antennas for V2X: Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna systems that offer high data rates (gigabit wireless link) and good quality of service (QoS) in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments, as well as V2V channel measurements and modeling, which are important for future V2V system designs. The section on Physical Layer Technologies discusses the lowest network stack-the physical layer of V2X platforms. Finally, the book introduces some future technologies that can advance V2X designs, including a simulation methodology that can implement SDN-based vehicle networks, an explanation of the World Wide Wheels (WWW) concept, and how XG enables the high throughput of V2X.
