Evaluation Methodologies and Standards of Vehicular Networks
Sunday 16 May 2010, 17:10–18:40 (R105)
Recent developments in the automotive industry have aimed at better driving safety, traffic efficiency, and providing information to vehicle users. Many applications to be supported by vehicular networks exhibit unique characteristics such as highly dynamic and localized context. Vehicular networks should be designed to be flexible, robust, and resilient to support diverse applications, handle dynamic fluctuations, and evolve over deployment stages. While there have been many activities to develop and demonstrate applications based on vehicular networking technologies, the evaluation and field testing aspects have often been small-scale and hard to replicate. There exists urgent needs for methodologies and standards that enable evaluations and tests under realistic settings, and equally important, provide reference framework to compare and contrast results from various studies. Such evaluation methodologies and standards can provide valuable insights to characterize and validate realistic behaviors of applications and vehicular networks. This panel will address the needs and challenges, recent status and results in this subject area.
