An Assessment on the Use of Stationary Vehicles as a Support to Cooperative Positioning
In this paper, we consider the use of stationary vehicles as tools to enhance
the localisation capabilities of moving vehicles in a VANET. We examine the
idea in terms of its potential benefits, technical requirements, algorithmic
design and experimental evaluation. Simulation results are given to illustrate
the efficacy of the technique.Comment: This version of the paper is an updated version of the initial
submission, where some initial comments of reviewers have been taken into

An assessment on the use of stationary vehicles to support cooperative positioning systems
In this paper, we evaluate the ability of stationary vehicles (e.g. parked or temporary stopped cars) as tools to enhance the capabilities of existing cooperative positioning algorithms in vehicular networks. First, some real-world facts are provided to support the feasibility of our ideas. Then, we examine the idea in greater details in terms of the technical requirements and methodological analysis, and provide a comprehensive experimental evaluation using dedicated simulations. The routing of a drone through an urban scenario is presented as a non-traditional application case, where the benefits of the proposed approach are reflected in a better utilisation of the flight time
A Distributed and Privacy-Aware Speed Advisory System for Optimising Conventional and Electric Vehicles Networks
One of the key ideas to make Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) work
effectively is to deploy advanced communication and cooperative control
technologies among the vehicles and road infrastructures. In this spirit, we
propose a consensus-based distributed speed advisory system that optimally
determines a recommended common speed for a given area in order that the group
emissions, or group battery consumptions, are minimised. Our algorithms achieve
this in a privacy-aware manner; namely, individual vehicles do not reveal
in-vehicle information to other vehicles or to infrastructure. A mobility
simulator is used to illustrate the efficacy of the algorithm, and
hardware-in-the-loop tests involving a real vehicle are given to illustrate
user acceptability and ease of the deployment.Comment: This is a journal paper based on the conference paper "Highway speed
limits, optimised consensus, and intelligent speed advisory systems"
presented at the 3rd International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo
(ICCVE 2014) in November 2014. This is the revised version of the paper
recently submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation
Systems for publicatio
An intelligent speed advisory system for electric vehicles
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can be used to involve vehicles and the road infrastructure to cooperatively implement a number of innovative and useful applications. Here, we explore the possibility to adopt a consensus based distributed speed advisory system to determine the optimal recommended speed in urban areas where only electric vehicles are allowed to travel (e.g., in the city centre). The optimality criterion is to maximise the energy efficiency of a fleet of vehicles travelling in the restricted area, and we adopt recently proposed distributed privacy-preserving consensus algorithms to achieve the desired objective
