Abstract Devices and networks constantly upgrade, leading to rapid technological evolution. Three-dimensional (3D) point cloud transmission plays a crucial role in aerial computing terminology, facilitating information exchange. Various network types, including sensor networks and 5G mobile networks, support this transmission. Notably, Flying Ad hoc Networks (FANETs) utilize Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as nodes, operating in a 3D environment with Six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF). This study comprehensively surveys UAV networks, focusing on models for Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) 3D point cloud compression/transmission. Key topics covered include autonomous navigation, challenges in video streaming infrastructure, motivations for More >

Abstract Identifying objects in real-time is a technology that is developing rapidly and has a huge potential for expansion in many technical fields. Currently, systems that use image processing to detect objects are based on the information from a single frame. A video camera positioned in the analyzed area captures the image, monitoring in detail the changes that occur between frames. The You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm is a model for detecting objects in images, that is currently known for the accuracy of the data obtained and the fast-working speed. This study proposes a comprehensive More >

Abstract Autonomous vehicles are currently regarded as an interesting topic in the AI field. For such vehicles, the lane where they are traveling should be detected. Most lane detection methods identify the whole road area with all the lanes built on it. In addition to having a low accuracy rate and slow processing time, these methods require costly hardware and training datasets, and they fail under critical conditions. In this study, a novel detection algorithm for a lane where a car is currently traveling is proposed by combining simple traditional image processing with lightweight machine learning… More >

Abstract Connected and autonomous vehicles are seeing their dawn at this moment. They provide numerous benefits to vehicle owners, manufacturers, vehicle service providers, insurance companies, etc. These vehicles generate a large amount of data, which makes privacy and security a major challenge to their success. The complicated machine-led mechanics of connected and autonomous vehicles increase the risks of privacy invasion and cyber security violations for their users by making them more susceptible to data exploitation and vulnerable to cyber-attacks than any of their predecessors. This could have a negative impact on how well-liked CAVs are with… More >

Abstract Automated Vehicles (AVs) reform the automotive industry by enabling real-time and efficient data exchange between the vehicles. While connectivity and automation of the vehicles deliver a slew of benefits, they may also introduce new safety, security, and privacy risks. Further, AVs rely entirely on the sensor data and the data from other vehicles too. On the other hand, the sensor data is susceptible to anomalies caused by cyber-attacks, errors, and faults, resulting in accidents and fatalities. Hence, it is essential to create techniques for detecting anomalies and identifying their sources before the wide adoption of More >

Abstract Self-driving and semi-self-driving cars play an important role in our daily lives. The effectiveness of these cars is based heavily on the use of their surrounding areas to collect sensitive and vital information. However, external infrastructures also play significant roles in the transmission and reception of control data, cooperative awareness messages, and caution notifications. In this case, roadside units are considered one of the most important communication peripherals. Random distribution of these infrastructures will overburden the spread of self-driving vehicles in terms of cost, bandwidth, connectivity, and radio coverage area. In this paper, a new More >

Abstract This paper presents a co-operative, self-organisation method for Multiple Autonomous Vehicles aiming to share surveillance responsibilities. Spatial organization or formation configuration of multiple vehicles/agents’ systems is crucial for a team of agents to achieve their mission objectives. In this paper we present simple yet efficient thermodynamic inspired formation control framework. The proposed method autonomously allocates region of surveillance to each vehicle and also re-adjusts the area of their responsibilities during the mission. It provides framework for heterogeneous UAVs to scatter themselves optimally in order to provide maximum coverage of a given area. The method is… More >
