A traffic information dissemination mechanism based on DSRC/WAVE and its applications

Abstract

Aiming to provide the wireless communications in some critical situations such as the data exchange between vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure, some dedicated short range communications(DSRC) have been developed, one of those technologies named Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments(WAVE) is a suite of wireless technology IEEE 1609-family based on the standard IEEE 802.11p, which is mainly developed for avoiding the vehicle crashes and traffic accidents. In this article, we propose a mechanism based on the DSRC/WAVE and some applications based on it to deliver the traffic information so that the drivers can receive the adequate information to drive smoothly and safely.
