Enhancing Road Safety: A Prototype for Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) Road Event Dissemination via Wireless Communication
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study introduces a prototype aimed at disseminating road alerts between vehicles (V2V) via an On-Board Unit (OBU) and wireless technologies, integrated with an intuitive android mobile application for drivers. Specific objectives include familiarizing with VANET protocols, designing an epidemic information dissemination protocol, defining the mobile development platform, creating an interface for event exchange and evaluating the prototype performance. The outcomes target enhancing road safety through advanced vehicular communication systems. The prototype facilitates traffic safety by disseminating road events, leveraging IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.15.1 standards for communication in VANETs. Empirical experiments confirm the effectiveness of the epidemic dissemination protocol in delivering events across the network. However, communication latencies exceed requirements for real-time safety applications, highlighting the prototype suitability for driver assistance applications or speed-controlled environments. Results indicate the potential of VANETs via IEEE 802.11b, paving the way for further V2V communication applications.
