CSE8016 - Vehicular Networks and Intelligent Transportation Systems

2020-2021 Spring

[ Topics| Course Material| Course Schedule| Resources | Announcements ]

Course Description

This course deals with the V2X Communications including in-car networking and networking among cars as well as the design principles, modeling, and evaluation of Vehicular Networks (VANETs). We will focus on (1) applications, their requirements, and system components (2) enabling technologies and the standards, (3) data dissemination approaches, (4) tools and techniques for the performance evaluation of Vehicular Networks .

NEW on this year:

(1) We will focus on 3GPP standards on 5G-V2X in addition to the ETSI and IEEE 1609 standards on 5.9GHz V2X communications.

(2) This year, we will re-focus on security in V2X Communications. Homeworks and projects will be mainly on this topic.

(3) Course schedule has been updated including more on the following contents:

• V2X Communication Architecture, Protocols and Standards (at each layer of the protocol stack)
• Issues and state-of-the-art solutions for the following cases:
• Information Dissemination
• Routing
• Efficient Media Access Control (MAC)
• Congestion control
• Optimization Techniques and Solutions
• Standards and methods for
• Safety Applications
• Non-Safety/Traffic Efficiency Applications
• Platooning
• Content Delivery Networks
• Traffic Analysis (Real Vehicle Trace Analysis)
