Enhanced Collision Avoidance for Distributed LTE Vehicle to Vehicle Broadcast Communications

Automated Vehicle-to-Vehicle Collision Avoidance at Intersections

We present experimental results for an active control Intersection Collision Avoidance (ICA) system implemented on modified Lexus IS250 test vehicles. The system utilizes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) to share safety critical state information, allowing for distributed implementation of our provably safe algorithms. Safety is achieved in potential collisio...

Prometheus: Vehicle to Vehicle Communications

Ray-tracing for Vehicle-to-vehicle Communications

A comprehensive model of the transmission channel between moving vehicles in realistic environments is presented in this paper. The approach consists of tree major parts: the modelling of the road traffic, the modelling of the environment adjacent to the road and the actual modelling of the wave propagation between the vehicles. A ray-tracing approach is used for the wave propagation, which all...

GNSS/Electronic Compass/Road Segment Information Fusion for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Collision Avoidance Application

The increasing number of vehicles in modern cities brings the problem of increasing crashes. One of the applications or services of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) conceived to improve safety and reduce congestion is collision avoidance. This safety critical application requires sub-meter level vehicle state estimation accuracy with very high integrity, continuity and availability, to ...

Using Dedicated Short Range Communications for Vehicle Safety Applications – the next Generation of Collision Avoidance

This paper provides the status of the Vehicle Safety Communications-Applications (VSC-A) research project, which was designed to determine if dedicated short range communications (DSRC) paired with accurate vehicle positioning can improve upon autonomous vehicle-based safety systems or enable new communication-based safety applications. This three-year project is a collaborative effort between ...
