Data Transmission Performance Under Non Line of Sight Environment Using Hopping Function of Inter- Vehicle Communication Systems Based On Guideline RC-005

This article describes the Advanced Safety Vehicle (ASV) project in Japan, which incorporates safe driving applications that use Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) as part of an Intervehicle Communications (IVC) system and the Road-Vehicle Communications (RVC) system. The data transmission performance of the IVC system is evaluated in the non line-of-sight (NLOS) environment considering to the requirement of the ASV project. The authors show the effectiveness of the hopping function of the IVC system for the safe driving support applications with computer simulations and actual field experiments. Their study investigates the data transmission performance in the case of both direct communications between the IVC units mounted on the vehicles and the hopping communications between the IVC unit located at a roadside of the intersection area and the IVC units mounted on the vehicles. They conclude that the IVC system is ready to advance from the research stage to commercial applications.
