Connected car plays an important role on Intelligent Transport System (ITS). ITS is able to secure drivers' convenience and safety, however, the overall system can be threatened by hacking attempt. Blockchain is one strong candidate of the remedy to promote the security of the ITS network. However, there will be many challenges to adopt previously proposed blockchain technologies to ITS. This work presents a new ITS structure based on blockchain technology. Proposed scheme includes three major layers. The first layer is central manager which is initiated once to register a certain connected car. The third layer is RSU (Road Side Unit) layer which exploits PoS (Proof of Stake) for consortium blockchains and retains real-time information. In addition, this layer performs block expiration based on timers to maintain manageable block length. In the second layer, the generated blocks of the third layer without expiration are housed as private blockchains. We finally demonstrate possible merits of newly proposed scheme.

Power and signal transmission using electromagnetic waves are essential in modern times, and a guided structure is needed to transmit electromagnetic waves efficiently through the desired path. This paper performed an electromagnetic simulation using the in-house code for the 2-D/3-D waveguide using the finite element method. The accuracy of the analysis was verified by comparing it with the results of HFSS, a representative electromagnetic wave simulation software. In addition, the performance of the Absorbing Boundary Condition (ABC), which is essential to truncate the infinite computational domain for computational electromagnetics, was analyzed. Finally, the parallelization technique was applied to accelerate the simulation speed, demonstrating performance improvement.
