VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH

THIS 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 ROADWAY AND VEHICLE ANTENNA SYSTEMS. ALSO INCLUDED WAS AN INVESTIGATION OF THE CAPABILITY OF BURIED ANTENNAS TO PERFORM A VEHICLE DETECTION ROLE. RESULTS INDICATE THAT BURIED ANTENNAS, PARTICULARLY VHF UHF DIPOLES, ARE INDEED FEASIBLE FOR USE IN A HIGHWAY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE FOR IMPLEMENTING SUCH A SYSTEM. /AUTHOR/
