Title:
The Why’s and What’s of Vehicular Communications and a Look Into the Future

Organizer and Moderator: Dr. Onur Altintas, Senior Researcher, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, Japan

 

Panelists:

 
Prof. Eylem Ekici, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The Ohio State University, USA
Mr. Donald Grimm, Senior Researcher, General Motors R&D Center, USA
Dr. Andre Weimerskirch, CEO and President, escrypt Inc., USA

Abstract:  

Vehicular communications has significant potential to enable diverse applications such as traffic safety, traffic efficiency and information provisioning.  This area has recently received much attention from the research community as it poses many new technical challenges and opportunities. This panel will overview the current status of vehicular communications including basic characteristics of such networks, and will give an update on trials and deployment plans. The panel will also address technical challenges stemming from


·      ·              high mobility of vehicles and wide range of relative speeds between nodes
·              real-time nature of applications
·              multitude of system and application related requirements
·              scale and interoperability of the solutions
·              security requirements associated with the envisioned applications

 

Finally we intend to discuss together with the audience, what needs to be done next and whether, as the research community, we are addressing the real problems or we are devising new problems that are of little relevance to the requirements of vehicular applications.
