VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH

THE VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH PROJECT INVOLVED THEORETICAL ANALYSIS, DESIGN AND FABRICATION, AND EVALUATION TESTING OF HIGHWAY COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS USING BURIED ANTENNAS. THE EFFORT INCLUDED POINT AND LINEAR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND REQUIRED DEVELOPMENT OF BOTH ROAD WAY AND VEHICLE ANTENNA SYSTEMS. ALSO INCLUDED WAS AN INVESTIGATION OF THE CAPABILITY OF BURIED ANTENNAS TO PERFORM A VEHICLE DETECTION ROLE.
