To ensure the driving safety in vehicular network, it is necessary to construct a local dynamic map (LDM) for an extended range. Using the standard vehicular communication protocols, however, vehicles can construct the LDM for only one-hop range. Constructing large-scale LDM is highly challenging because vehicles randomly change their position. This paper proposes a dynamic map propagation (DMP) method, which builds a large aggregated LDM data using a multi-hop communication. To reduce the data overhead, we introduce an efficient clustering method based on a half-circle of the forwarder’s wireless range. The DMP elects one forwarder per cluster, which constructs LDM and forwards it to a neighbor cluster. The inter-cluster interference is minimized by allocating a different transmit window to each cluster. DMP copes with a dynamic environment by frequently re-electing the forwarders and their associated transmission windows. Simulation results reveal that DMP enhances the forwarders’ reception ratio by 20%, while extending LDM dissemination range by 29% over a previous work.

To provide a service that guarantees driver comfort and safety, a platform utilizing connected car big data is required. This study first aims to design and develop such a platform to improve the function of providing vehicle and road condition information of the previously defined central Local Dynamic Map (LDM). Our platform extends the range of connected car big data collection from OBU (On Board Unit) and CAN to camera, LiDAR, and GPS sensors. By using data of vehicles being driven, the range of roads available for analysis can be expanded, and the road condition determination method can be diversified. Herein, the system was designed and implemented based on the Hadoop ecosystem, i.e., Hadoop, Spark, and Kafka, to collect and store connected car big data. We propose a direction of the cooperative intelligent transport system (C-ITS) development by showing a plan to utilize the platform in the C-ITS environment.

As Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) grows increasingly in size and complexity, the issues on how to improve interoperability and the performance of processing massive data become more critical. This paper proposes a new three-dimensional layered network architecture called Local Dynamic Map/Multimedia/Management (LDM3) to address these issues. In LDM3, the three-dimensional architecture consists of the information fusion layer newly introduced, as well as the application layer and transport layer. The primitive mechanism defined in the architecture improves the efficiency of the communication of network elements in such heterogeneous network system. By using the standardized format of message and data, the application systems can get desired information pushed by information fusion layer, instead of processing data from all kinds of sensors. This mechanism improves the effectiveness of the whole system significantly by avoiding duplicate work on different application systems. Meanwhile, the workload and the hardware requirement for application systems are relieved. We apply LDM3in the demonstration project for traffic Internet Of Things (IOT) in Jiangsu province. The result shows LDM3is an effective and efficient solution for ITS.

For safe UAV navigation and to avoid collision, it is essential to have accurate and real-time perception of the environment surrounding the UAV, such as free area detection and recognition of dynamic and static obstacles. The perception system of the UAV needs to recognize information such as the position and velocity of all objects in the surrounding local area regardless of the type of object. At the same time, a probability based representation taking into account the noise of the sensor is also essential. In addition, a software design with efficient memory usage and operation time is required in consideration of the hardware limitations of the UAVs. In this paper, we propose a 3D Local Dynamic Map (LDM) generation algorithm for a perception system for UAVs. The proposed LDM uses a circular buffer as a data structure to ensure low memory usage and fast operation speed. A probability based occupancy map is created using sensor data and the position and velocity of each object are calculated through clustering between grid voxels using the occupancy map and velocity estimation based on a particle filter. The objects are predicted using the position and velocity of each object and this is reflected in the occupancy map. This process is continuously repeated and the flying environment of the UAV can be expressed in a three-dimensional grid map and the state of each object. For the evaluation of the proposed LDM, we constructed simulation environments and the UAV for outdoor flying. As an evaluation factor, the occupancy grid is accuracy evaluated and the ground truth velocity and the estimated velocity are compared.
