Knowledge finds its true value when it solves real problems.

Enhancing V2I and V2V Communication in Vehicular Networks through GSA-BPSO Optimized Neural Network

Writeup: This research focuses on improving both Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication by integrating a Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) with Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) in neural networks. The optimized model ensures robust connectivity, high data transfer rates, and reduced packet loss in vehicular networks. By addressing the challenges of dynamic topologies and high-speed mobility, the study demonstrates significant performance improvements over existing allocation and routing methods. The results hold strong potential for deployment in next-generation intelligent transportation systems, ensuring efficient and reliable vehicular communication.

An Approach of Resource Allocation for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication using Cuckoo Search based Grey Wolf Optimization

Writeup: This study introduces a hybrid optimization method combining Cuckoo Search (CS) and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) to enhance resource allocation in Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications. The approach improves channel utilization, reduces interference, and supports stable communication in highly dynamic vehicular environments. Simulation results show notable gains in throughput and latency reduction compared to traditional methods, making it highly suitable for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This research provides a scalable solution to the spectrum scarcity problem, enabling safer and more efficient V2V operations. Source link: https://ijisae.org/index.php/IJISAE/article/view/2961
