Implementation and Evaluation of a Cooperative Vehicle-to-Pedestrian Safety Application

While the development of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) safety applications based on Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) has been extensively undergoing standardization for more than a decade, such applications are extremely missing for Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs). Nonexistence of collaborative systems between VRUs and vehicles was the main reason for this lack of attention. Recent developments in Wi-Fi Direct and DSRC-enabled smartphones are changing this perspective. Leveraging the existing V2V platforms, we propose a new framework using a DSRC-enabled smartphone to extend safety benefits to VRUs. The interoperability of applications between vehicles and portable DSRC enabled devices is achieved through the SAE J2735 Personal Safety Message (PSM). However, considering the fact that VRU movement dynamics, response times, and crash scenarios are fundamentally different from vehicles, a specific framework should be designed for VRU safety applications to study their performance. In this article, we first propose an end-to-end Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) framework to provide situational awareness and hazard detection based on the most common and injury-prone crash scenarios. The details of our VRU safety module, including target classification and collision detection algorithms, are explained next. Furthermore, we propose and evaluate a mitigating solution for congestion and power consumption issues in such systems. Finally, the whole system is implemented and analyzed for realistic crash scenarios

China Offshore Data Translation Net and Information Integration and Release Platform

AbstractChina offshore marine observation station of Chinese academy of sciences consists of dozens of marine observation buoy system, which are spread in China's offshore to obtain the long-term continuous oceanographic elements. In order to get the real-time understanding of marine dynamic change information, the observed data need to be translated back on time to the terrestrial laboratory and the scientists can analyze them. By the communication way of general packet radio service(GPRS), code division multiple access(CDMA) and “Beidou” satellite, a large range of data transmission network of covering China offshore area is formed and the real-time observation data and the buoy state information is transmitted to ground-based data station. In ground-based station, the data received software is compiled and installed, which make the data are received and displayed. In addition, in order to better use the data, original database is needed and the primary data products are formed. At the same time network information release, establish data sharing mechanism. It is mature database software, established the real-time database and delay database, they have abundant data query function, but were established based on the Internet data information release and communication system, to scientists and government decision makers, fishery breeding personnel and the public users provide different levels of data information products for its service, and provide an exchange platform

Active Virtual Network Management Prediction: Complexity as a Framework for Prediction, Optimization, and Assurance

Research into active networking has provided the incentive to re-visit what has traditionally been classified as distinct properties and characteristics of information transfer such as protocol versus service; at a more fundamental level this paper considers the blending of computation and communication by means of complexity. The specific service examined in this paper is network self-prediction enabled by Active Virtual Network Management Prediction. Computation/communication is analyzed via Kolmogorov Complexity. The result is a mechanism to understand and improve the performance of active networking and Active Virtual Network Management Prediction in particular. The Active Virtual Network Management Prediction mechanism allows information, in various states of algorithmic and static form, to be transported in the service of prediction for network management. The results are generally applicable to algorithmic transmission of information. Kolmogorov Complexity is used and experimentally validated as a theory describing the relationship among algorithmic compression, complexity, and prediction accuracy within an active network. Finally, the paper concludes with a complexity-based framework for Information Assurance that attempts to take a holistic view of vulnerability analysis
