Vehicle Safety Communications Protocols, Security, and Privacy

Provides an up-to-date, in-depth look at the currentresearch, design, and implementation of cooperative vehicle safetycommunication protocols and technology Improving traffic safety has been a top concern fortransportation agencies around the world and the focus of heavyresearch and development efforts sponsored by both governments andprivate industries. Cooperative vehicle systems—which usesensors and wireless technologies to reduce trafficaccidents—can play a major role in making the world's roadssafer. Vehicle Safety Communications: Protocols, Security, andPrivacy describes fundamental issues in cooperative vehiclesafety and recent advances in technologies for enabling cooperativevehicle safety. It gives an overview of traditional vehicle safetyissues, the evolution of vehicle safety technologies, and the needfor cooperative systems where vehicles work together to reduce thenumber of crashes or mitigate damage when crashes becomeunavoidable. Authored by two top industry professionals, the book: Summarizes the history and current status of 5.9 GHz DedicatedShort Range Communications (DSRC) technology and standardization,discussing key issues in applying DSRC to support cooperativevehicle safety Features an in-depth overview of on-board equipment (OBE) androadside equipment (RSE) by describing sample designs to illustratethe key issues and potential solutions Takes on security and privacy protection requirements andchallenges, including how to design privacy-preserving digitalcertificate management systems and how to evict misbehavingvehicles Includes coverage of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)communications like intersection collision avoidance applicationsand vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications like extendedelectronic brake lights and intersection movement assist Vehicle Safety Communications is ideal for anyone workingin the areas of—or studying—cooperative vehicle safetyand vehicle communications.
