text: Cooperative Driving requires ultra-reliable communications, and it is now
clear that no single technology will ever be able to satisfy such stringent requirements,
if only because active jamming can kill (almost) any wireless technology. Cooperative
driving with multiple communication technologies which complement each other opens
new spaces for research and development, but also poses several challenges. The
work we present tackles the fallback and recovery mechanisms that the longitudinal
controlling system of a platoon of vehicles can implement as a distributed system
with multiple communication interfaces. We present a protocol and procedure to
correctly compute the safe transition between different controlling algorithms,
down to autonomous (or manual) driving when no communication is possible. To empower
the study, we also develop a new version of PLEXE, which is an integral part of
this contribution as the only Open Source, free simulation tool that enables the
study of such systems with a modular approach, and that we deem offers the community
the possibility of boosting research in this field. The results we present demonstrate
the feasibility of safe fallback, but also highlight that such complex systems
require careful design choices, as naïve approaches can lead to instabilities
or even collisions, and that such design can only be done with appropriate in-silico
experiments.

text: Platooning is a promising application in the field of vehicular networks.
It has the potential to improve traffic flow, but also road safety. However, unreliable
communication has strong negative effects on platoon stability and, thus, safety
on roads. To improve reliability, in this work, we propose using multi-hop communication
for platooning using the Decode and Forward (DF) Full-Duplex Relaying (FDR) scheme
together with beamforming. We use computer simulations to demonstrate that FDR
latency has no observable negative effect on string stability or safety even while
performing an emergency brake. We further show that this combined approach reaches
a constant Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) of 100 % even in situations with high interference
and/or congestion, where traditional approaches fail.

text: 'We study the suitability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as purely opportunistic
airborne virtual network infrastructure to support urban wireless networks, specifically
in two Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) use cases: First, UAVs being used as relays
for cooperative awareness applications; second, UAVs being used to coordinate
channel access for platooning in urban areas. We do not require that these UAVs
alter trajectory nor speed from those of their random, unrelated primary missions,
so that these additional tasks can be executed with close-to-zero impact on the
execution of their primary missions. Based on extensive computer simulations we
show that, within a wide band of acceptable speeds, flight routes (up to a standard
deviation of 300 m from the optimum) as well as altitudes, opportunistic relaying
of transmissions via UAVs can yield a benefit to system performance that is on
the same order of magnitude as that of optimally deployed UAVs. We further show
that an opportunistic channel access control can reduce the total number of packet
collisions by approx. 86 % compared to a scenario without any UAVs. Moreover,
much of the reduction in impact due to suboptimal missions can be recovered simply
by moderately increasing the number of UAVs.'

text: Many exciting future research topics in the field of Cooperative Autonomous
Vehicles (CAVs) require the simulation of both connectivity and automation components.
However, existing simulation tools focus on only one of these two aspects while
making idealistic assumptions about the other. In this work, we motivate the use
of established libraries such as gRPC to couple existing independent simulation
tools tailored to either connectivity or automation, and demonstrate the feasibility
of such an approach. We also describe an Open Source reference implementation
coupling CARLA and Veins.

text: We study the impact of employing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) flying random,
arbitrary missions as purely-opportunistic relays for cooperative awareness applications
in vehicular networks. We do not require that opportunistically relaying UAVs
alter trajectory nor speed, so that the additional relaying task can be executed
with close-to-zero impact on the execution of the primary mission. Based on extensive
computer simulations we demonstrate that, within a wide band of acceptable speeds,
flight routes (up to a standard deviation of 300 m from the optimum), as well
as altitudes, opportunistic relaying of transmissions via UAVs can yield a benefit
to system performance that is on the same order of magnitude as that of optimally
deployed UAVs. Moreover, much of the reduction in impact due to suboptimal missions
can be recovered simply by moderately increasing the number of UAVs.

text: 'With the trend towards smart cities, the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) is becoming more and more diverse. An economical and insightful way to
study the use of UAVs in cities is through the utilization of computer simulations.
However, currently available simulators are only of limited use to investigate
such scenarios: often they have been developed for a dedicated use case, can only
handle single UAVs, or the software was not made available with an open license.
In this paper, we present AirMobiSim, a modular and microscopic UAV simulation
framework, which is available under a GPLv2 license. AirMobiSim provides the basis
for the creation of kinematic and energy models for different UAV types. It can
support an arbitrary number of UAVs and can be coupled with other simulators via
open interfaces, for example to examine systems using wireless communication between
UAVs. We furthermore present our approach for model-building and show that AirMobiSim
can already accurately reproduce existing work. We also highlight current limitations
and show prospects for future work.'

text: The manufacturing domain is exposed to a continuous change of the requirements
towards the IT infrastructure and the flexibility in Industry 4.0. In order to
achieve a highly reliable production system, predictive maintenance and additive
sensing have been implemented and will be complemented by further applications
such as Augmented Reality. As the applications may be required ad-hoc at any time,
the dynamic resource utilization of networking and computational resources needs
to be managed. In the long-term, the planning of the infrastructure affects the
available resources and thus the efficiency and reliability of the short-term
resource management. This paper suggests an architecture that combines short-
and long-term aspects of the resource utilization and previews how the infrastructure
and opportunity costs can be optimized by the joint approach.

text: With recent advances in cooperation among mobile computer systems, Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can be expected to be operated in large numbers and become
a part of daily life for a variety of use cases. UAVs are already envi- sioned
to act as mobile base stations, e.g., for situations with high node densities
and strong communication requirements. However, UAVs are typically imagined to
be provided specifically for this purpose. In this work, we study the effects
of exploiting randomly passing UAVs at an urban intersection for the communication
between vehicles on the ground. We show that a UAV, while following its pri- mary
mission, can support cooperative driving vehicles in a purely opportunistic fashion
by collecting periodic wireless broadcasts from vehicles and propagating all collected
information periodically in an aggregated format. Using simulations, we show that
such an opportunistic UAV relaying approach can lead to an improvement of approx.
6 percentage points (% points) in terms of perception of other vehicles.

text: A key challenge in the domain of Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) is to make
the best use of limited channel capacity to achieve a continuous exchange of information.
In this work, we propose the use of directional radio transmission and reception
(known from modern WLAN standards, but following the IEEE 802.11p specifications)
to lower the channel utilization. In this work, we use platooning as an example
application, since this application offers a well-defined communication topology.
Using extensive simulations, we show that directional communication can substantially
lower the channel busy ratio to less then half for platoon vehicles and down to
less than 1% for non-platoon vehicles. If care is not taken, however, it can drastically
increase the probability for packet collisions.

text: 'Platooning promises to solve worldwide traffic problems by using wireless
communication for tight control of convoys of vehicles to reduce their inter-vehicle
gaps. To date, however, most research on platooning has focused on freeway scenarios.
In this paper, we provide a realistic exploration of platooning in urban environments:
We consider traffic lights and buildings, realistic vehicle dynamics, platooning
controllers, and network communication. We highlight the challenges that urban
platooning faces because of the particularities of the Radio Frequency (RF) channel,
specifically near the centers of intersections. We demonstrate that using Visible
Light Communication (VLC) as an alternative can alleviate some problems, but causes
others. Using extensive simulations, we show how a situation-aware combination
of VLC and RF communication can be used as a solution: It reduces the overall
amount of lost information by approx. 85% compared to traditional approaches.'

text: CACC systems have been proven to increase road utilization, safety and decrease
fuel consumption by driving with a small headway at freeway speed. Such platooning
systems are usually focused on freeway scenarios and most of the current research
is done for this use case. Especially in urban scenarios at traffic lights and
intersections there is a lot of potential to increase the traffic efficiency and
safety by applying platooning mechanisms. Most of the techniques used on freeways
are not applicable for urban scenarios, as freeways are more or less a multi lane
one-way road. In my PhD project I want to investigate platooning as an application
for urban scenarios. For this I plan to examine platooning for signalized and
non-signalized intersections in a first step, but also consider platoon formation
strategies and driver models for human driven platoons. The end result should
be a set of algorithms and strategies to make urban and rural traffic more efficient
and safer by the use of platooning. Evaluation and analysis will mainly be done
by using simulations, but not limited to that.

text: Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are changing the way cars will drive
in the future – improving, at the same time, the safety and the efficiency of
road traffic. Platooning is one of the considered applications, helping cars to
drive with very short safety gaps to improve road traffic capacity and to reduce
air drag. A fundamental building block for such cooperative driving solutions
is reliable and fast wireless communication. Usually, information from the leader
of the platoon needs to be broadcast to all members, resulting in large interference
ranges, or being relayed from car to car, introducing additional delays. We introduce
a Full Duplex Relaying (FDR) system for use in platooning to overcome these limitations.
Concentrating on IEEE 802.11p, we implement the system to explore the feasibility
and also to conduct a first performance evaluation. Our results clearly demonstrate
the significant performance gain, which at the same time allows to further reduce
communication overhead and, thus, to safely increase platoon sizes 802.11p, we

text: 'Platooning promises to solve worldwide traffic problems by using wireless
communication for tight control of convoys of vehicles to reduce their inter-vehicle
gaps. To date, however, most research on platooning has focused on freeway scenarios.
In this paper, we provide a realistic exploration of platooning in urban environments:
We consider traffic lights and buildings, realistic vehicle dynamics, platooning
controllers, and network communication. We highlight the challenges that urban
platooning faces because of the particularities of the Radio Frequency (RF) channel,
specifically near the centers of intersections. We demonstrate that using Visible
Light Communication (VLC) as an alternative can alleviate some problems, but causes
others. Using extensive simulations, we show how a situation-aware combination
of VLC and RF communication can be used as a solution: It reduces the overall
amount of lost information by approx. 85% compared to traditional approaches.'

text: 'Platooning has repeatedly been shown to have the potential to increase both
the efficiency and the safety of future road traffic. Yet, while there is ample
research that illustrates its potential in freeway scenarios, the biggest challenges
of traffic efficiency and safety lie in urban environments, which pose unique
challenges: They are characterized by the presence of tight speed limits, intersections,
traffic lights, and buildings. Moreover, work that has targeted such scenarios
has, so far, not considered platoon formation strategies - or only considered
idealized vehicle dynamics, platooning controllers, or wireless network dynamics.
We fill this gap by investigating dynamic platoon formation at urban intersections
controlled by regular traffic lights. We propose a fuel-efficient strategy for
platoon formation at such intersections and investigate its performance using
realistic simulation models of (all of) vehicle dynamics, platooning controllers,
and wireless networking. Our investigation reveals both challenges in wireless
networking as well as the potential of the proposed strategy to simultaneously
save both 15 % of fuel and 14 % of travel time.'

text: Free networks are established and maintained by more and more people on a
voluntary basis to be independent from commercial providers. This also enables
an uncensored communication and leads to a network owned by a community. Freifunk
is such a project and it is based on wireless mesh networks. All participants
provide an own wifi router (node) for transferring data between different devices.
The routing protocol used in the Freifunk network of Paderborn is called Better
Approach To Mobile Ad-hoc Networking advanced (B.A.T.M.A.N. IV or Batman-adv).
It uses so called Originator Messages (OGM) to announce the existence of a node
and to measure the quality of different links in the network. The Freifunk network
in Paderborn consists of about 800 nodes that periodically broadcast OGMs. This
leads to a substantial base load of ∼25 GByte per month and node. Instead of performing
modifications in the real network, I create a simulation model of the current
network structure and implement version IV of the B.A.T.M.A.N. routing protocol.
The model is validated by using data from the real network. Based on this model
I propose and evaluate five different opportunities to improve the base load without
impairing other functionality of the network. The simulation results show that
a combination of two improvements can lead to a reduction up to 90 %.
