Communication Of Vehicles And Vehicle To Infrastructure Communications

Cars are something that almost every person has or will use in their everyday life or need to use their car to get to and from work or school everyday. Well in this paper you will learn about what technology has done to change the Automotive Industry as well as your everyday life. This paper will be focusing on the Technologies inside of the car, along with the Technologies that keep you safe and also a little bit about Self-Driving Cars. So fasten your seatbelts while you are reading this paper.

The use of IoT in the development of autonomous vehicles has led to the general reduction of fatalities (Sheng et.al, 2013). The reduction of fatalities is from the following aspects of driverless cars which are improved on by the use of IoT in the vehicle technology.

In the recent years, wireless technologies have taken a new dimension in the ways society lives. Wireless broadband is available to everyone. Whether the users are at home, driving the car, sitting in the park, and it would even work while people are a pleasure boat ride in the middle of a lake. And because of this, the need to have information at any time and be connected in all places, all the time has been satisfied.

Everyday, thirty three hundred thousand people send texts, calls, or anything to communicate with other people while driving. Everytime a person picks up a phone while driving, it is like playing Russian Roulette with an innocent family.

Will you be driving KIT from the Knight Rider TV series? Well not exactly, but your car will be communicating with you to keep you safer. In the article car “Car-to-Car Communication”, Knight (2015) describes his experience with cars that communicate to help keep the vehicle’s occupants safer.

This is a peculiar as well as a completely new technology in the future, on matters related to driving. The self-driving car team asserts that their product would have significant changes regarding daily human life and activities. However, it is cumbersome to predict the precise outcome of the new technology that would be witnessed in the future because there is limited experience of operating a self-driving car.

Automated guided vehicle system uses FROG (Free ranging on grid) technology (it contains map of that area).

The device is attached to the top of the vehicle and used a remote key control. The driver places the device on top of the vehicle’s roof and the LED lights flash when activated from a distance locating the vehicle in a crowded parking lot or garage during the day or night. This device can be very useful to the elderly driver, as well as, a hearing impaired individual. There is no need to listen for the sound of loud horns, and no more looking for flashing tail lights, which in some cases tend to be at lower eye sight levels! The Woody/Epps Car Finder provides an alternative to assist drivers in locating the vehicle quickly within

GPS-tracking, radars, lasers, cybersecurity software, and “vehicle-to-vehicle” (V2V) communication technology (2015).” Many companies are experimenting this technology in their car such as Google, General Motors

Connected-vehicle systems use wireless technologies to communicate in real time from vehicle to vehicle and from vehicle to infrastructure (e.g., radio waves or Dedicated Short-Range Communication).

New technology will be equipped in new vehicles. Internet will be plug in into vehicles which is to accomodate current trend among people. Internet connection to computers,smartphone or wireless will increase vehicle sales number. Looking forward, cars may soon be “talking” to each other and to the roadway. Car-tocar information sharing can alert vehicles miles behind that cars ahead have come to a halt, warning drivers to prepare to slow down. “Smart” intersections will allow stop signs and traffic lights to communicate with vehicles, as sensors

Wireless networking hardware requires the use of underlying technology that deals with radio frequencies as well as data transmission. The most widely used standard is 802.11 produced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This is a standard defining all aspects of Radio Frequency Wireless networking

These specific tasks encompass all operations from vehicle acquisition to disposal. Software, depending on its capabilities, allows functions such as driver and vehicle profiling, trip profiling, dispatch, vehicle efficiency, etc. It can provide remote control features, such as Geo-fencing and active disabling. Current vehicle diagnostic information can also be related to a management site, depending on the type of hardware installed in the vehicles. New platform, based on Fleet management software, is fleet controlling with higher amount of information available for both drivers and dispatchers of a fleet. At this time (2012) online software platforms are very popular: users no longer have to install software and they can access the software through a web browser.

The concept of internet of vehicle is shown in Fig.10. The converging technologies of IoV are related to electric vehicle, autonomous vehicle etc. The IoV can also deals with the vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to device (V2D), vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to grid (V2G) communication.

In a larger city, the complexity of transportation increases manifolds because of the modes involved, the large number of origins and destinations, the amount and variety of traffic and the possibility of interference, particularly when this complexity is not managed effectively.
