Effects of Critical Parameters Wireless Data Network on Video Stream Stability in v2v/v2p Communications

Abstract

Worldwide trends in the development of inter-vehicle communications have led to the emergence of projects such as See-Through [1], [2] and Samsung The Safety Truck [3]. These projects are aimed at increasing the safety of drivers when overtaking-the most dangerous maneuver on the road. Upon a detailed review of the projects, it became clear that there are other ways to safely overtake. For example, if a camera and equipment for wireless data transfer are installed on the overtaking car (truck, bus), and the smartphone of the driver of the overtaking car acts as a receiver. In this case, Wi-Fi may be suitable as wireless data technology. This technology, in theory, can provide the video stream to a distance necessary to assess the situation and start overtaking, and Wi-Fi is supported by the vast majority of modern smartphones. In this regard, it was necessary to assess the possibility of transmitting a video stream from one car to another during their movement and to choose the optimal Wi-Fi settings.
