Monthly Meeting -- Avoiding car accidents in vehicle-to-vehicle networks.

Hello everyone! We've finally found a consistent location and time. The second Thursday of the month.

This month we have Billy Kihel who is going to talk about

Avoiding car accidents in vehicle-to-vehicle networks.

Abstract: Have you heard? Last month, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued another Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to mandate vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology for new light vehicles in the United States. This makes V2V set to hit the world stage to help reduce car accidents, but relying on message passing for accident prevention may not be the most reliable way to protect drivers. In this talk, we give a background on V2V communications, discuss the political-industry-academia status of the technology, and some novel methods for predicting collisions in V2V networks currently being developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Bio: Billy is a Ph.D. candidate in ECE at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA, USA. He received his B.S. ECE in 2009 from Georgia Tech, and his M.S. ECE in 2010 from Georgia Tech. In 2013, Billy joined the Vehicular Ad Hoc Networking Research Group at Georgia Tech (recently named the AIinDrive Lab) where he focuses on developing networking protocols and physical layer techniques for vehicular collision avoidance applications unique to Vehicle-to-Vehicle communications.

We meet at 6:30 and the talks start at 7:00.

Looking forward to seeing everybody!
