Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have recently demonstrated remarkable progress, yet hallucination remains a critical barrier, particularly in chart understanding, which requires sophisticated perceptual and cognitive abilities as well as rigorous factual accuracy. While prior work has investigated hallucinations and chart comprehension independently, their intersection remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, we present ChartHal, a benchmark that features a fine-grained taxonomy of hallucination scenarios in chart understanding, along with a human-validated dataset of 1,062 samples. Our evaluation shows that state-of-the-art LVLMs suffer from severe hallucinations on ChartHal, including proprietary models such as GPT-5 and o4-mini, which achieve only 34.46% and 22.79% accuracy, respectively. Further analysis reveals that questions involving information absent from or contradictory to charts are especially likely to trigger hallucinations, underscoring the urgent need for more robust mitigation strategies. Code and data are available at https://github.com/ymcui/ChartHal .

This paper develops a stop line aided cooperative positioning framework for connected vehicles, which creatively utilizes the location of the stop-line to achieve the positioning enhancement for a vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) in intersection scenarios via Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication. Firstly, a self-positioning correction scheme for the first stopped vehicle is presented, which applied the stop line information as benchmarks to correct the GNSS/INS positioning results. Then, the local observations of each vehicle are fused with the position estimates of other vehicles and the inter-vehicle distance measurements by using an extended Kalman filter (EKF). In this way, the benefits of the first stopped vehicle are extended to the whole VANET. Such a cooperative inertial navigation (CIN) framework can greatly improve the positioning performance of the VANET. Finally, experiments in Beijing show the effectiveness of the proposed stop line aided cooperative positioning framework.
