Communication Technologies for Vehicles: Third International Workshop, Nets4Cars/Nets4Trains 2011, Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, March 23-24, 2011, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 6596)

Annotation This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles, Nets4Cars 2011and the First International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles in the Railway Transportation, Nets4Trains 2011, held in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, in March 2011. The 7 full papers of the rail track and 12 full papers of the road track presented together with a keynote were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 and 21 submissions respectively. They provide an overview over the latest technologies and research in the field of intra- and inter-vehicle communication and present original research results in areas relating to communication protocols and standards, mobility and traffic models, experimental and field operational testing, and performance analysis Front Matter....Pages - Requirements for Wireless Technology on Rolling Stock....Pages 1-10 An Experimental Study of Multi-radio Platform Coexistence in the 5 GHz Band for Railway Applications....Pages 11-22 Train Tracking and Shadowing Estimation Based on Received Signal Strength....Pages 23-33 Delivering Broadband Internet Access for High Speed Trains Passengers Using an Innovative Network Mobility Solution....Pages 34-44 Measurement and Analysis of the Direct Train to Train Propagation Channel in the 70 cm UHF-Band....Pages 45-57 WiMax’ble Pervasive Cloud – Empowering Next Generation Intelligent Railway Infrastructure....Pages 58-68 The MIH (Media Independent Handover) Contribution to Mobility Management in a Heterogeneous Railway Communication Context: A IEEE802.11/802.16 Case Study....Pages 69-82 Multiple Description Coding and Scalable Video Coding Combined with Multiple Input Multiple Output Techniques: Two Strategies to Enhance Train to Wayside Video Transmissions in Tunnels....Pages 83-94 VANET Architectures and Protocol Stacks: A Survey....Pages 95-105 Behavior Specification of a Red-Light Violation Warning Application – An Approach for Specifying Reactive Vehicle-2-X Communication Applications....Pages 106-118 Wireless Protocol Design for a Cooperative Pedestrian Protection System....Pages 119-130 A Vehicular Mobility Model Based on Real Traffic Counting Data....Pages 131-142 Driver-Centric VANET Simulation....Pages 143-154 Simulative Evaluation of the Potential of Car2X-Communication in Terms of Efficiency....Pages 155-164 Performance Study of an In-Car Switched Ethernet Network without Prioritization....Pages 165-175 Degradation of Communication Range in VANETs Caused by Interference 2.0 - Real-World Experiment....Pages 176-188 Real-World Measurements of Non-Line-Of-Sight Reception Quality for 5.9GHz IEEE 802.11p at Intersections....Pages 189-202 Interoperability Testing Suite for C2X Communication Components....Pages 203-215 Towards Standardization of In-Car Sensors....Pages 216-223 Secure Automotive On-Board Protocols: A Case of Over-the-Air Firmware Updates....Pages 224-238 Back Matter....Pages -
