This paper proposes an adaptation of the collision probability used in the measure of the available bandwidth designed for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) and which is described in ABE~\cite{abe}. Instead, we propose a new ABE+ that includes a new ...

In this paper, we propose an entry control framework to improve highway throughput. By modeling the framework with a virtual queuing system, we can derive each entry's waiting time, which is distributed to drivers' smart devices in real-time to improve ...

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are an emerging technology that allows vehicles to form self-organized networks without the need of permanent infrastructure. Communications in VANETs require the establishment of efficient routes between communicating ...

Over the recent years, with the rapid growth of wireless communication technology, vehicular networks have gained a great deal of attention by the research community. In VANETs, vehicles can communicate with each other or with roadside units that allow ...

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are so difficult to secure due to the wireless technology and its several known security holes. To protect against attacks, methods and techniques have been developed. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can detect ...

Informational privacy is regulated by laws that apply differently depending on the country and the specific set of circumstances. These laws require organizations to be responsible for ensuring that the privacy requirements have been communicated and ...

The technology, security and privacy requirements of the electric vehicle (EV) in the smart grid (SG) context, especially when the EV acts as mobile power storage, have gained much attention from the research community and market recently. This role of ...

Game theory is a useful tool to model and analyze decision problems. In this paper, we use a novel game model, mean field game, to solve the security problem in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs). The mean field game model can provide a powerful ...

We live in a society of information. Timely and accurately sharing of information among people can make our life convenient and comfortable. The Internet makes this come true. What's more, Web 2.0 technology takes the information development to a new ...

Transport of information in vehicular clouds faces challenges due to intermittent connectivity and the fact that the already existing Internet protocol based transport solutions do not exploit the semantics of information to utilize the available ...

Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS) is an emerging distributed paradigm lying at the intersection between the Internet of Things and the volunteer/crowd-based approach. MCS applications are usually deployed on contributing nodes such as smart devices and mobiles, ...

This paper presents Social Drive, a novel crowdsourcing-based vehicular social networking (VSN) system for green transportation. Social Drive integrates the standard vehicular On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) module, leverages the advantages of cloud ...

The topology of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is highly dynamic due to the mobility of the vehicles and changing traffic conditions in time and space. The development of any efficient service in such networks is challenging and requires thorough ...

Traffic efficiency if one of the key applications of the connected vehicle technology, which uses moving cars as nodes in a network to create a Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET). The nodes act as mobile traffic sensors. The technology holds promise for ...

This paper proposes COntribution-based Incentive Design (COIN) as a general guideline for developing applications in the context of mobile crowd-sensing. As a case study, we apply the key ideas of crowd-sensing to design a smart parking system. The ...

We propose a message dissemination algorithm for location-aware services in vehicular networks. The objective is to reduce information delivery time in intermittently connected urban vehicular networks by using historical mobility information of ...

Deploying real IEEE 802.11p vehicular network testbeds is a challenging but difficult option for most researchers. In these cases, the research community relies on simulation tools to test their protocols. However, since simulation accuracy is a ...

The key benefit of VANETs comes in the form of safety applications. Broadcast is the predominant form of communication for safety messages. However, due to the fast changes occurring in the network topology (sparse, dense, congested), vehicles within a ...

With increasing demand on bandwidth and mobile media applications, pressures upon network providers to provide more bandwidth to users and better Quality of Service (QoS) is increasing. For example, High Definition (HD) Video on Demand (VoD) streaming ...

Recently Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have drawn the attention of academic and industry researchers due to their potential applications including driving safety, entertainment, emergency applications, and content sharing. In some applications such ...

Services such as localization and synchronization are crucial for many applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), given that it is commonly required to know the position and global time of the sensor nodes. Nevertheless, these tasks are often ...
