Wireless ad hoc networks are an important topic in the automotive domain. Thereby, strict security requirements lead to high effort for verification of digital signatures used to secure message exchange. A popular ...

Authenticating legitimate nodes is a major concern of the envisioned vehicular networks. To achieve this, standards and literature propose to use asymmetric cryptographic mechanisms which generate significant overheads ...

Modern vehicles contain a complex network of computer systems, which makes security considerations a necessary part of the design process. Due to a vehicle’s long deployment phase, static security solutions become ...

Providing vehicles with extended connectivity introduces new opportunities for services, and also security applications such as misbehavior detection. However, for many applications, personal data needs to be processed ...

Genetic algorithm-based route choice optimization techniques have recently demonstrated their potential to reduce the travel costs on the system level. In this context, the costs are reduced according to exactly one ...

Developing non-safety applications, such as Web surfing and social network, for inter-vehicle networks requires a reliable and stable connectivity among vehicles. One challenge to reach such a reliable and stable ...

Cooperative driving and platooning have gained a growing focus recently. Letting vehicles to reach a consensus and make a joint decision is necessary for some applications. To address this problem, we propose a novel ...

For some applications, e.g. route planning services, it is desirable to answer a point-to-point shortest path query on a road network with a set of alternative paths. We discuss the general requirements for such sets ...

Future vehicles will most-likely have multiple communication technologies and modes available. After classifying V2X applications in five distinct classes, a context-aware selection of the communication mode is advocated. ...
