Sensor Testing for Smart Mobility Scenarios: From Parking Assistance to Automated Parking

Abstract

At present, road vehicle automation is one of the major challenges of nowadays' transport system and its goals are to achieve the ideal energy efficiency, the minimum environment impact, and the highest safety rate as well as to improve the drivers' comfort. Due to this fact, currently, it is not only the trend to develop systems that help the driver in controlling the own vehicle in the driving process such as ADAS, but also Cooperative ITS for automating road transport as well. These cooperative systems are based on communications in real time among IoT devices. However, the connectivity between these devices and the vehicle, together with the data obtained by the own vehicle, with the purpose to manage an automated and adequate decision making, represents a new step in the evolution of this concept. So, the concept of Internet of Vehicle (IoV) is the next step for future smart transportation and mobility applications and requires creating a new IoT ecosystem based on trust, interoperability and security. IoT infrastructure (based on sensors, ubiquitous connectivity, information processing) will transform the environment
