The PC revolution, the advent of PDAs, and growth in the use of
wireless LANs have changed the way we live our lives. Next on the
horizon is the application of new technologies that will change the
way we drive our cars. De rigeur for many drivers, electronic
passes and GPS systems represent the tip of the iceberg in terms of
emerging applications of new technology. Not far off are networks
consisting of vehicles, lane markers, exit ramps, and other highway
structures that work together to create safer highways. Inter- and
Intra-Vehicle Communications provides details on the current
state-of-the-art in wireless communication technology within and
between vehicles. The author describes the operation of vehicle
systems and sensors and provides a tutorial covering the
fundamental concepts associated with communications and
transmission technologies that can be used for inter- and intra
vehicle operations. He explains the inexpensive local interconnect
network (LIN) and the more costly controller area network (CAN) and
how LIN-CAN networks can be integrated. The book includes detailed
information on wired and wireless communications within a vehicle
and how such communications provide the capability for vehicle
communications and the intelligent roadway. It also examines
protocols used to transfer data, and analyzes the role of sensors
used inside and outside a vehicle as a mechanism for developing
smart automobiles. The author examines the issues from every angle,
elucidating problems surrounding security, radio frequency
interference, and operation under severe conditions and offers
actual and potential solutions. These features provide an in-depth
exploration of the possibilities and howto bring them into reality.
