Motivation & Rationale for the Workshop:
Connected vehicles imply vehicles that are
not only connected to the Internet/ outside world but also that are connected
to each other. The ability of vehicles to communicate both critical and
non-critical information with its immediate neighbors provides each vehicle
the platform for understanding its environment. Particularly, the connected
cars would enable each vehicle to develop recommender systems in order to improve/enhance its driving in terms of
automatic lane change, anti-lock brakes and other advanced forms of adaptive
driver assistance system (ADAS). This of course requires that there is a
secured communication mechanism between the vehicles. Importantly, it
requires that there is a secure authentication mechanism so that the ADAS
features cannot be hacked. In addition, a significant aspect of
connected cars that have taken lot of importance is the vehicle platooning. A
platoon is a group of vehicles that can travel very closely together, safely,
at high speed using connectivity technology and automated driving
support systems. These vehicles automatically maintain a set, close distance
between each other when they are connected for certain parts of a journey,
for instance on motorway. There is a lead vehicle that controls the speed and
direction, and all following vehicles (which have precisely matched braking
and acceleration) respond to the lead vehicle’s movement. A platooning system
holds great potential to make road transport safer, cleaner and more
efficient in the future. Also, it optimizes transport by using roads more
effectively, delivering goods faster and reducing traffic jams. Notably, since the vehicles are
connected to one another, it reduces fuel consumption, and with all the cars
travelling close together and moving at the same time, efficiencies can be
gained when vehicles move away from traffic lights, for example. Notably, though in the initial stages,
each connected vehicle would have a driver at all times, but eventually
driverless (self-driving or autonomous) vehicles will be able to
automatically join the other connected cars that may function like long
trains of vehicles on a highway, and drivers would be free to enjoy the
benefits of having a driverless vehicle, such as being able to watch a movie
or do work. The capacity improvements to the roads and operational efficiency
of a well implemented wireless platooning technology has the potential to
alleviate traffic congestion problems in underutilized and underserved road
transportation systems in both developed and developing countries alike.
Platooning needs the coupled vehicles to communicate with each other over
wireless links with specific functional and performance requirements which
include security, reliability and timing correctness for achieving a stable
and reliable coupling of vehicle dynamics as envisioned. Additionally,
effective platooning needs remote sensing that can provide positional sensing
capabilities with performance requirements in terms of precision and
accuracy. The functional and performance requirements are needed for
synchronizing and controlling vehicle dynamics of platooned vehicles. |

Details on Call for Papers:
Connected cars and vehicle
platooning require the development of reliable wireless guidance and control
technologies, a real-time and dynamic ADAS; and other smart technologies that would enable mutual
communication between the vehicles. Given that such a system requires
integration of different techniques such as – safe as secure wireless communication, dynamic control systems and real-time
recommendation engine, the complexity of authenticated and connected
vehicles and vehicle platooning is over and above a simple vehicle to vehicle
(V2V) or vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) concept. In this regard, there are
several open challenges that need to be investigated and well-defined before
connected cars and vehicle platooning could be put into practice. This
workshop aims to bring together different research, simulation and
experimental work Additionally, the workshop is intended to identify the
functional and performance requirements from the communications and computing
aspects of connected vehicles for safe, secure and reliable platooning of
road vehicles. Authors
are invited to submit full papers (max. 6 pages) or poster papers (max.
2-pages) to the workshop The
topics of this workshop include (but not limited to): Ø Communication
in connected vehicles Ø Technologies
for vehicle platooning Ø Connected
vehicle environment (entering and leaving the platoon and/or connected
environment) Ø Use of RADAR, LIDAR and
image processing for connected vehicles and platooning Ø Efficient
control systems for connected vehicles and platooning Ø Authentication and secured
mechanism for connected vehicles Ø Real-time
system for connected vehicles Ø Experimental
works and results Ø Development
of relevant standards |
