However, their autonomous movements, limited resources and security risks impact the quality of services. In this article, we propose a data acquisition model using stable matching of bipartite graph in cooperative vehicle-infrastructure systems, namely, DAS. Contents are distributed to roadside units, while vehicular nodes support supplementary storage. The original distribution problem is formulated as a stable matching problem of bipartite graph, where the data and the storage cells compose two sides of vertices. Regarding the factors relevant with the access ratio and delay, the preference rankings for contents and roadside units are calculated, respectively. With a multi-replica preprocessing algorithm to handle the potential one-to-many mapping, the matching problem is addressed in polynomial time. In addition, vehicular nodes carry and forward assistant contents to deliver the failed packets because of bandwidth competition. Furthermore, an incentive strategy is put forward to boost the vehicle cooperation and to achieve a fair bandwidth allocation at roadside units. Experiments show that DAS achieves a high access ratio and a small storage cost with an acceptable delay.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17061327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,8]],"date-time":"2017-06-08T10:26:09Z","timestamp":1496917569000},"page":"1327","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Data Acquisition Based on Stable Matching of Bipartite Graph in Cooperative Vehicle\u2013Infrastructure Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Xiaolan","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}]},{"given":"Donghui","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}]},{"given":"Wenlong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1162","DOI":"10.1109\/JPROC.2011.2132790","article-title":"Dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) standards in the United States","volume":"99","author":"Kenney","year":"2011","journal-title":"Proc.
