Implementation of ETSI ITS-G5 based inter-vehicle communication embedded system

Abstract

Inter-vehicle communication (IVC) is a key component enabling the autonomous driving vehicles. Standardization of IVC is advanced but yet improvements are still introduced. Congestion control is one of the sensitive topics. The IVC European standard ITS-G5 addresses the congestion issue enabled by a geo-networking protocol that exploits at networking level the geographic information. Implementation of the ITS-G5 standard onto low cost, open source, embedded systems for testing purposes is a challenge, and this is addressed in this paper.
