We are stepping into an exciting age of vehicular technologies with breathtaking technology advances in both connected and automated vehicles lately. The automotive industry, academia and government have worked closely together over the last decade to bring vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure technologies to improve vehicular safety. Meanwhile, recent technology advances in sensors, computer vision and deep learning have made autonomous driving within reach. With the anticipated U.S. government mandate on V2X technologies, it has been more interesting than ever to have a fresh look of how to leverage V2X communications and how to combine communications and conventional sensor technologies through camera, radar and lidar, to provide connectivity, rich sensing and perception, and robust localization to reach a high level of vehicle automation. CarSys 2016 is targeted to bring together leading researchers from both industry and academics to exchange new ideas and expand the horizon of vehicular communications in this new era.

IEEE802.11p in fast fading scenarios: from traces to comparative studies of receive algorithms
We present an approach for using signal traces from Field Operational Tests (FOTs) for later evaluations and comparative studies of receive algorithms for the IEEE 802.11p PHY. In particular, we use Software Defined Radios (SDRs) to record the raw ...
Automotive radar and communications sharing of the 79-GHz band
The spectrum scarcity problem is becoming severer in the 5.9 GHz Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) band due to the rapidly increasing wireless traffic demands in vehicular networks. Meanwhile, massive bandwidth has been allocated to automotive ...

Driver distraction due to in-vehicle device use is an increasing concern and has led to national attention. We ask whether it is not more effective to channel the drivers' device and information system use into safer periods, rather than attempt a ...
Performance and channel load evaluation for contextual pedestrian-to-vehicle transmissions
Communication between pedestrians' mobile devices and vehicles can play a vital role in improving traffic safety. Enabling such communication is challenging in areas where pedestrian density is high, since transmissions from all pedestrians could lead ...
RoadMap: mapping vehicles to IP addresses using motion signatures
Inter-vehicular communication (IVC) can be used to enhance the sensing region of vehicles for improved safety on the roads. For many applications based on IVC, the relative locations and communication identities (e.g., IP addresses) of other ...
Traffic shockwave mitigation with human-driven vehicles: is it feasible?
Traffic shockwave is one of the major causes for low road capacity and traffic jams. This paper seeks to answer an important question in the development of a traffic shockwave mitigation system: is it feasible to have human-driven vehicles as part of ...
Connectivity-aware traffic phase scheduling for heterogeneously connected vehicles
We consider a transportation system of heterogeneously connected vehicles, where not all vehicles are able to communicate. Heterogeneous connectivity in transportation systems is coupled to practical constraints such that (i) not all vehicles may be ...
Achieving global fairness at urban intersections using cooperative DSRC congestion control
Intersections are traffic hubs for urban road traffic as well as for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Intersections are most valuable and communication has to be reliable there. Unfortunately Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) congestion ...
Connected vehicles under named object architectures
Fast changing topologies, unpredictable network loads, potential broadcast storms, and identity-location conflation problems in IP networks all impose challenges on connected car system design. Prior approaches have proposed smart flooding using ...
Soft-swipe: enabling high-accuracy pairing of vehicles to lanes using COTS technology
In this paper we demonstrate a novel system Soft-Swipe, which can enable highly accurate pairing of vehicles to respective lanes in a wide-range of vehicle-based multi-lane service stations using economical general-purpose commodity communication and ...
Inter-vehicle communication assisted localization with resilience to false data injection attacks
Vehicle localization is important in many applications of vehicular networks. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has been critical for vehicle localization. However, the case where the GPS is spoofed through a false data injection attack can be lead to ...
Comparison of radio frequency and visible light propagation channel for vehicular communications
While both radio and visible light waves can serve as the transmission medium, the propagation channel plays a key role in the highly dynamic vehicular communication environment. We discuss salient properties of radio and visible light channels, ...
BTGuard: using Bluetooth to sense driver phone use
In this paper, we propose a Bluetooth-based system, called BTGuard, to detect and prohibit driver phone use. Using Bluetooth (BT) to detect phone's location has many advantages, including low cost, low energy consumption, and low latency. For a small ...
