Recent developments in the automotive industry point to a new emerging domain of vehicular wireless networks, in which vehicles equipped with radios can communicate a wide range of information to each other and the wider Internet, including traffic and safety updates as well as infotainment content. The primary goal of this project is to develop a hybrid network architecture for such vehicular networks which combines both the existing cellular infrastructure as well as new vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication capabilities. The hypothesis is that such a hybrid network architecture will improve cost, capacity and robustness, compared to either a purely centralized cellular-based approach or a purely distributed V2V approach. Under a hybrid architecture, the project aims to design information-centric protocols for information dissemination, aggregation, and storage, that can exploit the spatio-temporally localized nature of vehicular applications. Further, through mathematical analysis, computer simulations, as well as experimental implementation on a research fleet of vehicles, this project aims to evaluate the performance of these protocols. This project will be a unique academia-industry collaborative project between researchers at the University of Southern California and General Motors. While the focus will very much be on basic research disseminated to the academic community through publications, the close interaction with a prominent industry partner will enable the research to have a strong impact on real-world vehicular networks. Material from this research project will be incorporated into graduate courses at USC. The aimed-for advance in information technology for the automotive domain could have significant social impact by enabling improvements in traffic safety, efficiency, user comfort and productivity.

汽车行业的最新发展表明，车载无线网络是一个新的新兴领域，在这个领域中，配备无线电的车辆可以相互之间以及更广泛的互联网之间传递广泛的信息，包括交通和安全更新以及信息娱乐内容。该项目的主要目标是为这样的车载网络开发一种混合网络体系结构，将现有的蜂窝基础设施以及新的车辆到车辆(V2V)通信能力结合在一起。我们的假设是，与纯粹基于蜂窝的集中式方法或纯粹分布式V2V方法相比，这种混合网络架构将提高成本、容量和稳健性。在混合架构下，该项目旨在为信息传播、聚合和存储设计以信息为中心的协议，以利用车辆应用程序的时空局部性。此外，通过数学分析、计算机模拟以及在研究车队上的实验实施，本项目旨在评估这些协议的性能。这个项目将是南加州大学的研究人员和通用汽车公司之间的一个独特的学术界和产业界合作项目。虽然重点将主要放在通过出版物向学术界传播的基础研究上，但与知名行业合作伙伴的密切互动将使研究对现实世界的车辆网络产生强大的影响。这项研究项目的材料将被纳入南加州大学的研究生课程。旨在推动汽车领域信息技术进步的举措能够改善交通安全、效率、用户舒适度和生产率，从而产生重大的社会影响。
