Many safety applications in Intelligent Transportation systems (ITS) require vehicles to be aware of the presence of nearby cars, but - especially in urban and suburban regions - buildings and other obstacles may block radio transmissions. In the literature, multi-hop relaying by neighboring cars has been demonstrated to perform well at disseminating safety broadcasts in the presence of obstacles. At night, in areas with low traffic density, or when the penetration rate of Car-2-X devices is low, however, there are likely to be too few relaying cars available. This again leads to the problem that vehicles which are not in line-of-sight frequently cannot be sensed either. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to help overcome this problem by utilizing parked cars as relay nodes. We study the effectiveness and the necessity of this approach with the help of extensive simulative studies and real life experiments. We show how, for scenarios with few equipped cars, the utilization of parked cars proves crucial to support safety applications. When disseminating safety critical events in a realistic scenario, parked cars can increase cooperative awareness by over 40% in total.

We present a realistic, yet computationally inexpensive simulation model for IEEE 802.11p radio shadowing in urban environments. Based on real world measurements using IEEE 802.11p/DSRC devices, we estimated the effect that buildings and other obstacles have on the radio communication between vehicles. Especially for evaluating safety applications in the field of Vehicular Ad Hoc networks (VANETs), stochastic models are not sufficient for evaluating the radio communication in simulation. Motivated by similar work on WiFi measurements, we therefore created an empirical model for modeling buildings and their properties to accurately simulate the signal propagation. We validated our model using real world measurements in a city scenario for different types of obstacles. Our simulation results show a very high accuracy when compared with the measurement results, while only requiring a marginal overhead in terms of computational complexity.

We present a fully self-organizing approach for creating and maintaining a reference coordinate system for self-localization in Sensor and Actor networks (SANETs). GPS technology has become a de facto standard for outdoor localization, however, self-localization in GPS denied scenarios is still extremely challenging. Typically, anchor nodes or global state information are used to update the nodes' location information. In contrast, we present a fully self-organizing strategy to generate a distributed reference coordinate system. In particular, we use autonomous robot systems to span and maintain this coordinate system. In particular, we investigated the capabilities of the Mass-Spring-Relaxation (MSR) algorithm, which is frequently used for fault-tolerant and robust localization. Unfortunately, this algorithm needs certain globally valid state information. We extended the MSR algorithm in two ways: First, we made the algorithm independent of a priori global knowledge, and, secondly, we provide extensions that make the algorithm more reliable and robust, and to reduce the number of necessary information exchanges between the nodes. As can be seen from the simulation results, our advanced MSR is very accurate and clearly outperforms the classical MSR for increasing network sizes. We also validated the simulations in an experimental setting. The obtained results confirm the very high localization accuracy.
