Internet of Vehicles

  • V2X communication
  • Traffic prediction
  • Driver safety
  • Smart transport

Why it matters

Connected vehicles need fast, safe and secure communication with other vehicles and infrastructure to make roads safer and transport smarter.

Key challenges

  • Low-latency, safety-critical V2I/V2X messaging
  • Secure, lightweight protocols for vehicular networks
  • Consensus and resilience under high mobility

Our approach

Protocol design and simulation, secure message exchange, blockchain-based consensus and machine-learning-assisted protocol selection.
