EFFECTS OF THE INTER-VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS ON THE TRANSMISSION OF INCIDENT INFORMATION WITH SIMULATION STUDIES

This paper presents simulation studies on the effect of the inter-vehicle communications on the incident transmission system, and investigates the relationship between the information transmission over the inter-vehicle communications and the penetration rate of the communication unit. The inter-vehicle communications with the 5.8 GHz DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) and a traffic flow based on the time headway on an expressway are modeled for the simulation. The simulation results show that the information relayed via equipped vehicles can be transmitted at the level of the practical use when the penetration rate is over 20 %. (A)
