Communication, Computation and Perception Technologies for Internet of Vehicles (eng)

This book focuses on the design, management, and cybersecurity of connected and autonomous vehicles under the umbrella of the Internet of Vehicles. Both principles and engineering practice are covered, from the design perspectives of communication, computing, and perception to ITS management. An in-depth study of a range of topics such as microscopic traffic behavior modeling and simulation, localization, V2X communication, cooperative cloud-edge computing, and multi-sensor fusion for perception has been presented, while novel enabling technologies such as RIS and blockchain are introduced. The book benefits researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of intelligent transport systems, telecommunications, cybersecurity, and autonomous driving.
