• Abstract:
  In this report, the authors study information propagation via inter-vehicle communication along two parallel roads. By identifying an inherent Bernoulli process, the authors are able to derive the mean and variance of propagation distance. A road separation distance of √3/2 times the transmission range distinguishes two cases for approximating the success probability in the Bernoulli process. In addition, the results take the single road as a special case. The numerical test shows that the developed formulas are highly accurate. The authors also explore the idea of approximating the probability distribution of propagation distance with the Gamma distribution.
