2nd GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Inter-Vehicle Communication

February 20-21, 2014, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

Motivation

In February 2013, a first GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch was organized on the topic of inter-vehicular communication. Discussions revolved around both the state of the art and around future directions of inter-vehicle communication research, from physical layer optimizations to novel applications of vehicular networks and from microscopic evaluation metrics to problems of scale, crime, and privacy. It will be the goal of this new Fachgespräch to again bring together talented young researchers to follow-up on the discussions. Over the last few years, significant efforts are being carried out by industry, academia and government agencies to improve driving safety, increase vehicle traffic efficiency and decrease fuel consumption by exploiting vehicular communications and networking technologies. These technologies, which are generally referred to as VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks), include Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications and can be based on short- and medium-range communications as well as on cellular systems.

Goals

The goal of this event is to give an interdisciplinary overview on recent advances and early results in the area of vehicular inter-networking technologies and related applications. This seminar will include and solicit contributions addressing technical and research issues, development projects, standardization activities, and field trials on VANET technologies and applications.

The objective is to discuss recent advancements in this highly active research area, to highlight interdisciplinary challenges in the development of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and to share lessons learned from field trial experiences.

Scope of Contributions: Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts (2-4 pages) presenting new research results related to the theory or practice of vehicular communications and applications.

Manuscripts formatted according to IEEE conference layout should be submitted as PDF documents. Accepted contributions will be published in a technical report (thus, the copyright will remain with the authors).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Communication protocol design and network management Channel modeling, modulation and coding Congestion control and scalability issues Collaborative systems Medium access control protocols Multi-channel organization and operation Traffic management and flow optimization techniques Vehicle or traffic-related smartphone apps Safety and non-safety applications Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication Simulation frameworks Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues Telematics applications Electric vehicle applications Networking to reduce energy consumption Wireless in-car networks Systems that reduce driver distraction Real-world testbeds
