The connected vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) and cloud computing technology allows entities in VANET to enjoy the advantageous storage and computing services offered by some cloud service provider. However, the advantages do not come free since their combination brings many new security and privacy requirements for VANET applications. In this article, we investigate the cloud-based road condition monitoring (RCoM) scenario, where the authority needs to monitor real-time road conditions with the help of a cloud server so that it could make sound responses to emergency cases timely. When some bad road condition is detected, e.g., some geologic hazard or accident happens, vehicles on site are able to report such information to a cloud server engaged by the authority. We focus on addressing three key issues in RCoM. First, the vehicles have to be authorized by some roadside unit before generating a road condition report in the domain and uploading it to the cloud server. Second, to guarantee the privacy against the cloud server, the road condition information should be reported in ciphertext format, which requires that the cloud server should be able to distinguish the reported data from different vehicles in ciphertext format for the same place without compromising their confidentiality. Third, the cloud server and authority should be able to validate the report source, i.e., to check whether the road conditions are reported by legitimate vehicles. To address these issues, we present an efficient RCoM scheme, analyze its efficiency theoretically, and demonstrate the practicality through experiments

Cloud computing is associate inclusive new approach on however computing services square measure made and utilized. Cloud computing is associate accomplishment of assorted styles of services that has attracted several users in today’s state of affairs. The foremost enticing service of cloud computing is information outsourcing, because of this the information homeowners will host any size of information on the cloud server and users will access the information from cloud server once needed. A dynamic outsourced auditing theme that cannot solely defend against any dishonest entity and collision, however conjointly support verifiable dynamic updates to outsourced information. The new epitome of information outsourcing conjointly faces the new security challenges. However, users might not totally trust the cloud service suppliers (CSPs) as a result of typically they may be dishonest. It's tough to work out whether or not the CSPs meet the customer’s expectations for information security. Therefore, to with success maintain the integrity of cloud information, several auditing schemes are projected. Some existing integrity ways will solely serve for statically archived information and a few auditing techniques is used for the dynamically updated information. The analyzed numerous existing information integrity auditing schemes together with their consequences.


India has the highest number of two-wheeler riders in the entire world. As Indians think that twowheelers are more convenient a lot of people use them for their daily activities. Delivery boys for a lot of companies also prefer to use a two-wheeler as it is more economically convenient. Along with this, people also use twowheelers for rushing to the workplace avoiding a lot of traffic. The majority of these people can be classified as young adults. A lot of people complain about back issues due to the bad road conditions that they face while travelling every day. Our system uses the sensor consisting of the accelerometer and the gyroscope to analyze the condition of the road and classify how bad the current condition of the road actually is. The system will not only classify the road as good or bad but also provide a rating to the road based on how severe the condition of the road actually is. The sensors will be calibrated according to a particular vehicle which will be beneficial for the rider. The system will also provide the best option of the road from travelling from point A to point B provided if there are multiple options available and the analysis of all the options has been done previously.

Road surface monitoring is a significant issue in providing smooth road infrastructure for vehicles, and the key to road condition monitoring is to detect road potholes that affect driving comfort and transportation safety. This paper presents a simple, efficient, and accurate way to evaluate road service performance based on the acquisition of road vibration data by vibration sensors installed in vehicles. Inspired by the discrete fast Fourier transform, the vibration acceleration is processed, and the RMS value of vibration acceleration at 1/2 octave is calculated, after which the road vibration level is calculated. The vibration level is optimized according to the human body’s sensitivity to different frequencies of vibration, resulting in road service performance indicators that can reflect the human body’s real feelings. According to the road service performance index values on the road grading, combined with GPS data on the electronic map color block labeling, the results obtained for the road condition warning, road maintenance, driver route selection have an important significance.

Abstract: In this paper, we present a complete platooning system using a time-delay algorithm. The platooning is achieved by measuring the driver inputs from the lead vehicle and sending these inputs to the trail vehicle with a time-delay so that the trail vehicle can exactly mimic the motion of the lead vehicle. This system also does a road condition monitor as an add-on benefit which will help in assisting the driver of the trail vehicle/vehicle which takes the same path. The function of this monitoring system is to analyse the road surface using a lead vehicle and acquire sensor data, this acquired sensor data helps in assisting drivers who take the same track. The combination of both this platooning method and road condition monitoring system could potentially reduce the current risk of utilising this semi-automated driving system. Index terms: Platooning, Semi-automated driving, Road condition monitoring, Time-delay algorithm.

Cloud computing system preserves the security and privacy of a user's data by replicating data among several clouds and by using the secret sharing approach. It uses the database management system DBMS (data source) to manage and control the operations between the clients and them ulti-clouds inside a cloud service provider [1]. Generally speaking, The Shamir's threshold scheme is suitable for the shares in the cloud computing. The Shamir's threshold scheme as a secret sharing scheme will attract more attention in the cloud computing in future.

Road condition monitoring usually requires extremely expensive special vehicles, equipment, or many human resources. On the other hand, with the development of ICT and data science technologies in recent years, there are several research trials in which the heavy technical tasks of road asset condition monitoring are replaced by automatic inspection systems consisting of common devices such as smartphones and dashcam videos. As the system consists of low-price devices, it also suitable for developing countries. However, there are many differences in the situation and the inspection items on road condition monitoring between advanced countries and developing countries. There are few trials to develop such a road condition monitoring system in developing countries. Our project is developing an integrated road condition monitoring system focusing on developing countries like Timor-Leste. In developing countries, many parts of the road are still unpaved, and the “road width” is an important item to be inspected. In this paper, we discuss the road width and pothole size estimation as a part of the integrated system we are developing. We survey the road width of both paved and unpaved roads. We use a common dashcam to take video along the road. The estimated values are integrated into a database with GPS information and visualized in Google Map, QGIS, or the original visualization system which we developed. To estimate the real width of the road and pothole size, we need to transform the captured forward view image of dashcam video into bird’s-eye-view. For the transformation, we need to estimate the vanishing point in a captured image. However, unlike the advanced countries, it is difficult to detect the vanishing point in developing countries because there are usually no straight lines in the images in the unpaved road of the province. In this study, we propose to use the optical flow method to detect the vanishing point in the rural road. To identify the area of road and the existence of potholes in images, we apply state-of-the-art semantic segmentation using deep learning.

Road surface monitoring and maintenance are essential for driving comfort, transport safety and preserving infrastructure integrity. Traditional road condition monitoring is regularly conducted by specially designed instrumented vehicles, which requires time and money and is only able to cover a limited proportion of the road network. In light of the ubiquitous use of smartphones, this paper proposes an automatic pothole detection system utilizing the built-in vibration sensors and global positioning system receivers in smartphones. We collected road condition data in a city using dedicated vehicles and smartphones with a purpose-built mobile application designed for this study. A series of processing methods were applied to the collected data, and features from different frequency domains were extracted, along with various machine-learning classifiers. The results indicated that features from the time and frequency domains outperformed other features for identifying potholes. Among the classifiers tested, the Random Forest method exhibited the best classification performance for potholes, with a precision of 88.5% and recall of 75%. Finally, we validated the proposed method using datasets generated from different road types and examined its universality and robustness.


In recent technologies, it has been said that, to improve the travel efficiency and safety of transportation systems, vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) has been used as the promising technology where each vehicle is able to collect and communicate the information about current road or traffic condition at a particular location using an embedded on-board unit with the help of distributed roadside units. Examples are: While detection of some accident, congestion, jam, etc., vehicles broadcast warning signals to the nearby vehicles which would give a better awareness to every nearby vehicles about the driving environment and these nearby vehicles would change the driving plan if needed. The VANET technology has gained great attentions from both industry and academics in the recent days.

Vehicles in a vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) broadcast information about the driving environment in the road. Due to the open-access environment, this means that the VANET is susceptible to security and privacy issues. However, none of the related works satisfies all security and privacy requirements. Besides, their proposed has huge overhead in terms of computation and communication. The present paper is a provide a thorough background on VANETs and their entities; different security attacks; and all requirements of the privacy and security for VANETs. This paper may serve as a guide and reference for VANETs in the design and implementation of any new techniques for protection and privacy.
