Book description
Provides an up-to-date, in-depth look at the current research,
design, and implementation of cooperative vehicle safety
communication protocols and technology
Improving traffic safety has been a top concern for transportation
agencies around the world and the focus of heavy research and
development efforts sponsored by both governments and private
industries. Cooperative vehicle systems-which use sensors and wireless
technologies to reduce traffic accidents-can play a major role in
making the world's roads safer.
Vehicle Safety Communications: Protocols, Security, and Privacy
describes fundamental issues in cooperative vehicle safety and recent
advances in technologies for enabling cooperative vehicle safety. It
gives an overview of traditional vehicle safety issues, the evolution
of vehicle safety technologies, and the need for cooperative systems
where vehicles work together to reduce the number of crashes or
mitigate damage when crashes become unavoidable.
Authored by two top industry professionals, the book:
- Summarizes the history and current status of 5. 9 GHz Dedicated
Short Range Communications (DSRC) technology and standardization,
discussing key issues in applying DSRC to support cooperative
vehicle safety
- Features an in-depth overview of on-board equipment (OBE) and
roadside equipment (RSE) by describing sample designs to illustrate
the key issues and potential solutions
- Takes on security and privacy protection requirements and
challenges, including how to design privacy-preserving digital
certificate management systems and how to evict misbehaving vehicles
- Includes coverage of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
communications like intersection collision avoidance applications
and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications like extended electronic
brake lights and intersection movement assist
Vehicle Safety Communications is ideal for anyone working in
the areas of-or studying-cooperative vehicle safety and vehicle communications.
