A concept reference model for inter-vehicle communications (Report 2)

Abstract

This work presents an inter-vehicle communication (IVC) concept reference model. Presently, a number of research institutes in several countries are considering applications for IVC, and there is a notable movement towards the standardization of the communication method. The requirements for the communication method vary depending on the application, and the considerations need to be done after clearly identifying the portions subject to standardization based on the differences in the requirements. The presented IVC concept reference model makes standardization work more efficient.
