This room is located in the King’s College London King’s Building\, l ocated at Strand\, London WC2R 2LS. IEEE VTS members and others are welcom e to attend (for free!)\, however\, attendance will be allowed only based on prior (free) registration—noting that the number of places is limited and there are security requirements at the building. You can register at this [link](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/vts-distinguished-lecture-by-dr-fa n-bai-of-general-motors-corporation-research-development-usa-tickets-39749 402533). Registration closes at the end of 1 December UTC.\n\nPlease feel free to forward this email to others\, for possible participation.\n\nThe Title and Abstract of the talk\, and Mr. Bai’s biography\, are as follow s:\n\nTitle:\nTowards Building an Internet of Vehicles.\n\nAbstract:\nRece nt developments in the automotive industry point to a new emerging domain of connected vehicles\, in which vehicles equipped with wireless radios ca n communicate a wide range of information to each other as well as the Int ernet infrastructure\, including traffic updates\, safety notification and infotainment content.\n\nThe first half of the talk will focus on how to develop a hybrid network architecture for vehicular networks which combine s both the existing cellular infrastructure as well as new vehicle-to-vehi cle (V2V) communication capabilities. Compared to either a purely centrali zed cellular-based approach or a purely distributed V2V approach\, our pro posed hybrid network architecture will improve cost\, capacity and robustn ess.\n\nThe second half of the talk will elaborate one particular example of vehicular applications – collaborative automotive sensing\, which cou ld be supported by vehicular networks. In collaborative automotive sensing \, hundreds of embedded automotive sensors in each vehicle\, coupled with online maps and other databases as well as crowd-sourced information from other cars\, can jointly assess vehicular surrounding environments and dri ving contexts\, and be used to enhance system performance and provide assi stance to vehicle drivers and passengers.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Fan Bai\, \n\ nRoom: K3.11\, Bldg: King's Building\, King’s College London\, Strand\, London\, England\, United Kingdom\, WC2R 2LS LOCATION:Room: K3.11\, Bldg: King's Building\, King’s College London\, St rand\, London\, England\, United Kingdom\, WC2R 2LS ORGANIZER:oliver.holland@kcl.ac.uk SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Fan Bai of General Motors Research & D evelopment\, USA: “Towards Building an Internet of Vehicles” URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/160390 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>We are honoured to welcome Dr. Fan Bai\, S enior Researcher at General Motors Company Research &amp\; Development\, t o give a VTS Distinguished Lecture at King&rsquo\;s College London on 14 D ecember at 2pm\, in room K3.11.
