GuideWeb: an Introductory Solution for V2V-Communication

In this paper a new paradigm named GuideWeb for networks based on vehicle-to-vehicle (v2v) communication is presented. GuideWeb is a support network for vehicle navigation and guidance. It is constituted by the cooperation of a multitude of autonomous MapSynthesiser nodes located in vehicles. A MapSynthesiser, being the autonomous core of GuideWeb, receives over radio communication traffic flow information using information-enhanced maps (called map syntheses) from other GuideWeb participants’ MapSynthesiser. From received map syntheses and the information of its own travel route it creates a new map synthesis, which is then broadcasted. MapSynthesiser provides timely and accurate information on traffic flow and density as well as traversability everywhere within a radius of approx. 100 km to a navigation system for driver assistance. MapSynthesiser cooperation is based on short range radio communication e.g. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) according to IEEE 802.11 standards. GuideWeb deploys the simple method of broadcast for network formation and thus, avoids the issues arising from setting up and maintaining an ad-hoc network. By the map based data design, data security and privacy are ensured. Therefore, GuideWeb can serve as a commercially viable introductory phase for full-fledged v2v communication network. The lessons learned from GuideWeb deployment provide insights for v2v network design.
