Artificial neural network for safety information dissemination in vehicle‐to‐internet networks

Abstract

AbstractIn vehicular networks, diverse safety information can be shared among vehicles through internet connections. In vehicle‐to‐internet communications, vehicles on the road are wirelessly connected to different cloud networks, thereby accelerating safety information exchange. Onboard sensors acquire traffic‐related information, and reliable intermediate nodes and network services, such as navigational facilities, allow to transmit safety information to distant target vehicles and stations. Using vehicle‐to‐network communications, we minimize delays and achieve high accuracy through consistent connectivity links. Our proposed approach uses intermediate nodes with two‐hop separation to forward information. Target vehicle detection and routing of safety information are performed using machine learning algorithms. Compared with existing vehicle‐to‐internet solutions, our approach provides substantial improvements by reducing latency, packet drop, and overhead.
