Vehicular Communication Systems: The Future Outlook on Intelligent Transportation

By Fouad Sabry

What Is Vehicular Communication Systems

Computer networks known as vehicular communication systems consist of communicating nodes located in cars and roadside devices. These nodes share information with one another, including safety alerts and traffic data, as part of the network. They have the potential to be useful in reducing the occurrence of accidents and alleviating congestion. Each kind of node is a device that is intended only for use in dedicated short-range communications (DSRC). The DSRC operates in the 5.9 GHz band and has a bandwidth of 75 MHz. Its range is about 300 meters (980 ft). Intelligent transportation systems often include the development of vehicular communications as one of its components (ITS).

Preface

Why did I write this book?

The story of writing this book started on 1989, when I was a student in the Secondary School of Advanced Students.

It is remarkably like the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Schools, which are now available in many advanced countries.

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. This term is typically used to address an education policy or a curriculum choice in schools. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.

There was a weekly class in the library, where each student is free to choose any book and read for 1 hour. The objective of the class is to encourage the students to read subjects other than the educational curriculum.

In the library, while I was looking at the books on the shelves, I noticed huge books, total of 5,000 pages in 5 parts. The books name is The Encyclopedia of Technology, which describes everything around us, from absolute zero to semiconductors, almost every technology, at that time, was explained with colorful illustrations and simple words. I started to read the encyclopedia, and of course, I was not able to finish it in the 1-hour weekly class.

So, I convinced my father to buy the encyclopedia. My father bought all the technology tools for me in the beginning of my life, the first computer and the first technology encyclopedia, and both have a great impact on myself and my career.

I have finished the entire encyclopedia in the same summer vacation of this year, and then I started to see how the universe works and to how to apply that knowledge to everyday problems.

My passion to the technology started mor than 30 years ago and still the journey goes on.

This book is part of The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies which is my attempt to give the readers the same amazing experience I had when I was in high school, but instead of 20th century technologies, I am more interested in the 21st century emerging technologies, applications, and industry solutions.

The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies will consist of 365 books, each book will be focused on one single emerging technology. You can read the list of emerging technologies and their categorization by industry in the part of Coming Soon, at the end of the book.

365 books to give the readers the chance to increase their knowledge on one single emerging technology every day within the course of one year period.

Introduction

How did I write this book?

In every book of The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies, I am trying to get instant, raw search insights, direct from the minds of the people, trying to answer their questions about the emerging technology.

There are 3 billion Google searches every day, and 20% of those have never been seen before. They are like a direct line to the people thoughts.

Sometimes that’s ‘How do I remove paper jam’. Other times, it is the wrenching fears and secret hankerings they would only ever dare share with Google.

In my pursuit to discover an untapped goldmine of content ideas about Vehicular Communication Systems, I use many tools to listen into autocomplete data from search engines like Google, then quickly cranks out every useful phrase and question, the people are asking around the keyword Vehicular Communication Systems.

It is a goldmine of people insight, I can use to create fresh, ultra-useful content, products, and services. The kind people, like you, really want.

People searches are the most important dataset ever collected on the human psyche. Therefore, this book is a live product, and constantly updated by more and more answers for new questions about Vehicular Communication Systems, asked by people, just like you and me, wondering about this new emerging technology and would like to know more about it.

The approach for writing this book is to get a deeper level of understanding of how people search around Vehicular Communication Systems, revealing questions and queries which I would not necessarily think off the top of my head, and answering these questions in super easy and digestible words, and to navigate the book around in a straightforward way.

So, when it comes to writing this book, I have ensured that it is as optimized and targeted as possible. This book purpose is helping the people to further understand and grow their knowledge about Vehicular Communication Systems. I am trying to answer people’s questions as closely as possible and showing a lot more.

It is a fantastic, and beautiful way to explore questions and problems that the people have and answer them directly, and add insight, validation, and creativity to the content of the book – even pitches and proposals. The book uncovers rich, less crowded, and sometimes surprising areas of research demand I would not otherwise reach. There is no doubt that, it is expected to increase the knowledge of the potential readers’ minds, after reading the book using this approach.

I have applied a unique approach to make the content of this book always fresh. This approach depends on listening to the people minds, by using the search listening tools. This approach helped me to:

Meet the readers exactly where they are, so I can create relevant content that strikes a chord and drives more understanding to the topic.

Keep my finger firmly on the pulse, so I can get updates when people talk about this emerging technology in new ways, and monitor trends over time.

Uncover hidden treasures of questions need answers about the emerging technology to discover unexpected insights and hidden niches that boost the relevancy of the content and give it a winning edge.

The building block for writing this book include the following:

(1) I have stopped wasting the time on gutfeel and guesswork about the content wanted by the readers, filled the book content with what the people need and said goodbye to the endless content ideas based on speculations.

(2) I have made solid decisions, and taken fewer risks, to get front row seats to what people want to read and want to know — in real time — and use search data to make bold decisions, about which topics to include and which topics to exclude.

(3) I have streamlined my content production to identify content ideas without manually having to sift through individual opinions to save days and even weeks of time.

It is wonderful to help the people to increase their knowledge in a straightforward way by just answering their questions.

I think the approach of writing of this book is unique as it collates, and tracks the important questions being asked by the readers on search engines.

Acknowledgments

Writing a book is harder than I thought and more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. None of this would have been possible without the work completed by prestigious researchers, and I would like to acknowledge their efforts to increase the knowledge of the public about this emerging technology.

Dedication

To the enlightened, the ones who see things differently, and want the world to be better -- they are not fond of the status quo or the existing state. You can disagree with them too much, and you can argue with them even more, but you cannot ignore them, and you cannot underestimate them, because they always change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones or amateur, others see genius and innovators, because the ones who are enlightened enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do, and lead the people to the enlightenment.

Chapter 1: Extremely high frequency

The range of radio frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum that extends from 30 to 300 gigahertz is referred to by the name extremely high frequency (EHF) by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) (GHz). Terahertz band is the lower half of the far infrared band, which it is located between. It falls between the ultra high frequency band and the far infrared band. Because the wavelengths of the radio waves in this band range from ten to one millimeter, this band is often referred to as the millimetre band, and the waves that occur in this band are referred to as millimetre waves, also abbreviated as MMW or mmWave. In the years 1894 to 1896, the Indian scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose was the first person to examine millimeter-length electromagnetic waves. In his tests, he obtained frequencies as high as 60 gigahertz.

Radio waves in this band experience a greater degree of attenuation by the environment than those in lower bands because the gases that make up the atmosphere absorb them. As a consequence of this, they have a limited range and are only suitable for terrestrial transmission over a distance of around one kilometer or less. The waves are attenuated to zero within a few meters at the upper end of the band after the absorption has reached its maximum level, which occurs at higher frequencies. Absorption by humidity in the atmosphere is substantial, with the exception of conditions that are desert-like, and attenuation by rain (also known as rain fade) is a major issue even over very short distances. However, because of the limited range of transmission, shorter frequency reuse distances are possible than with lower frequencies. The short wavelength makes it possible for antennas of modest size to have a narrow beam width, which further increases the possibility for frequency reuse. Millimeter waves have a variety of applications, including airport security scanners, military fire-control radar, short-range wireless networks, and research in the scientific community.

Certain frequency ranges towards the bottom of the band are being used in a significant new application of millimeter waves, and these frequency ranges are being utilized in the fifth-generation (5G) of mobile phone networks.

Millimeter waves can only travel in a straight line from source to receiver. They are not reflected by the ionosphere, and they do not travel over the surface of the Earth as ground waves in the
