A novel vehicle communication paradigm based on Cellular Networks for improving the safety in roads
: Main aim of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) applied to roads is to increase their safety. To achieve this aim, many researchers are focused on developing robust and efficient communication links between vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V). Most of the works in the current literature are based on ad-hoc networks. This paper presents a network infrastructure based on cellular networks (CN) and peer to peer (P2P) technologies, to develop a communication paradigm for improving road safety. CN are proved to be suitable for V2I communications, while its continuous improvements in data connections encourage to feel optimistic about future possibilities. Apart from the fact that deployment costs are not higher than those in ad-hoc LAN based solutions, our proposal presents the benefit of integrating all V2I and V2V in one design. For localization purposes, a global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) is used. Since we are dealing with safety applications, a very ...
