The general vehicular networking system (VNS), where the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is integrated with hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), enables a wide range of intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications. With different visions on VANETs, most of the existing studies provide case-specific solutions in an incoherent manner, which can hardly be integrated into an effective system. This project aims at developing a reliable, energy-efficient, and secure VNS with a synergetic approach through five complementary research tracks: infrastructure optimization, protocol design for reliable networking performance, energy-efficient VNS, security and privacy provisioning, and virtual-field testbed development. This project is expected to significantly advance the state of the art of VANET research by addressing some fundamental research issues. Analytical models are developed to study the road-side infrastructure deployment, networking protocols and control algorithms for optimal performance, considering the complex issues of mobility, interference, and data traffic dynamics. The throughput-optimal control in a multi-radio multi-channel context with dynamic network topology is studied to improve the throughput over a multi-hop vehicular network. Energy-efficient solutions are pursued by exploiting the interplay between the VNET and HEVs. Scalable security protocols with small computation and communication overhead are developed to provision security and privacy in VANET. The proposed research seamlessly integrates research and education activities in the areas of optimization, probability and random process, graph theory, wireless networking, HEV technologies, as well as computer simulations. The research proposed in this project has a good potential to be transformed into practical protocols or control algorithms for VANETs.

通用车载网络系统（VNS）将车载自组织网络（VANET）与混合动力电动汽车（HEV）集成，可实现广泛的智能交通系统（ITS）应用。由于对 VANET 的看法不同，现有研究大多以不连贯的方式提供针对具体案例的解决方案，很难集成到有效的系统中。该项目旨在通过五个互补的研究方向，采用协同方法开发可靠、节能且安全的 VNS：基础设施优化、可靠网络性能的协议设计、节能 VNS、安全和隐私配置以及虚拟场测试台开发。该项目预计将通过解决一些基础研究问题来显着推进 VANET 研究的最新水平。开发分析模型是为了研究路边基础设施部署、网络协议和控制算法，以实现最佳性能，同时考虑移动性、干扰和数据流量动态的复杂问题。研究了具有动态网络拓扑的多无线电多通道环境中的吞吐量最优控制，以提高多跳车载网络的吞吐量。通过利用 VNET 和 HEV 之间的相互作用来寻求节能解决方案。 开发了计算量和通信开销较小的可扩展安全协议，以在 VANET 中提供安全性和隐私性。拟议的研究无缝整合了优化、概率和随机过程、图论、无线网络、HEV 技术以及计算机模拟领域的研究和教育活动。该项目提出的研究很有可能转化为 VANET 的实用协议或控制算法。
