de Gelder, E. (author), Cara, I. (author), Uittenbogaard, J. (author), Kroon, L. (author), van Iersel, S. (author), Hogema, J. (author)More and more Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADASs) are entering the market for improving both safety and comfort. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an ADAS application that has high interaction with the driver. ACC systems use limited sensor input and have only few configuration possibilities. This may result in the behaviour of the ACC not...conference paper 2016

Klein Wolterink, W. (author), Heijenk, G. (author), van den Berg, J.L. (author)Piggybacking on beacons is a forwarding technique in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) as a means to disseminate data. With this technique data is attached to and transmitted along with scheduled beacons. Nodes are assumed to beacon asynchronously. In this paper we present a first version of an analytical model that is able to accurately capture...conference paper 2012
