Free Space Optical Quantum Key Distribution (FSO-QKD) System Within a Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Application


A new technical paper titled "A Practical Implementation of Quantum-Derived Keys for Secure Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communications" was published by University of Warwick. Abstract "We provide a practical implementation of a free space optical quantum key distribution (FSO-QKD) system within a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) application developed under the Innovate UK AirQKD project. The ... » read more

EV Architectures Evolving For Communication, Connectivity


Electric vehicle architectures are rapidly evolving to accommodate multiple forms of connectivity, including in-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle, and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. But so far, automotive OEMs have yet to come to a consensus on the winning technologies or the necessary standards — all of which will be necessary as cars become increasingly autonomous and increasingly inter... » read more

Improving Emergency Response in the Era of ADAS Vehicles in the Smart City


Abstract: "Management of emergency vehicles can be fostered within a Smart City, i.e. an urban environment in which many IoT devices are orchestrated by a distributed intelligence able to suggest to road users the best course of action in different traffic situations. By extending MATSim (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation Software), we design and test appropriate mitigation strategies when tr... » read more

A Survey of Autonomous Vehicles: Enabling Communication Technologies and Challenges


Abstract "The Department of Transport in the United Kingdom recorded 25,080 motor vehicle fatalities in 2019. This situation stresses the need for an intelligent transport system (ITS) that improves road safety and security by avoiding human errors with the use of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Therefore, this survey discusses the current development of two main components of an ITS: (1) gathering... » read more

Formal Verification Becoming Critical To Auto Security, Safety


Formal verification is poised to take on an increasingly significant role in automotive security, building upon its already widespread use in safety-critical applications. Formal has been essential component of automotive semiconductor verification for some time. Even before the advent of ADAS and semi-autonomous vehicles — and functional safety specifications like ISO 26262 and cybersecur... » read more

Connected Cars: From Chip To City


As the automotive industry moves closer to autonomous vehicles, ecosystem players are focusing on the infrastructure pieces needed to make autonomous technology a reality for the first adopters, which are most likely commercial fleets. Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I or v2i) is a communications model that allows vehicles to share information with the components that support a country's hi... » read more

Meeting ISO 26262 Software Standards


Software controls everything from safety critical systems like brakes and power steering, to basic vehicle controls like doors and windows. Yet the average car today may have up to 150,000 bugs, many of which could damage the brand, hurt customer satisfaction and, in the most extreme case, lead to a catastrophic failure. Software development testing is designed to help developers, management an... » read more

How To Make Autonomous Vehicles Reliable


The number of unknowns in automotive chips, subsystems and entire vehicles is growing as higher levels of driver assistance are deployed, sparking new concerns and approaches about how to improve reliability of these systems. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) will need to detect objects, animals and people, and they will be used for parking assistance, night vision and collision avoi... » read more

Altering A Car’s Behavior With Updates


The electronic content inside a car is growing rapidly, which is having a big effect on the way in which different vehicles are designed and built. As a direct consequence of this, the biggest technical change is now beginning to happen – one that overturns the traditional relationship between the car manufacturer and the car owner. With many subsystems now controlled by microprocessors ru... » read more
