Abstract:In this modern era, improving transportation safety became one of the most critical problems as the human, societal, environmental and economic losses from traffic accidents continue to grow rapidly in the recent years. A key initiative toward improving transportation safety is the introduction of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) whereby vital applications to spread safety messages on the road in real-time are being investigated to ensure road safety. This research provides novel and feasible solutions to disseminate these safety messages through connected Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications to improve the transportation safety. It also exploits the physical layer characteristics of the V2V safety messages in providing collision avoidance services through accurate detection of vehicles, pedestrians and other threats. In this research, novel algorithms and protocols enabling efficient and reliable communication between vehicles have been developed, tested and verified through real-world experiments in Georgia. The research findings and results presented in this report confirm the effectiveness of the proposed schemes in improving transportation safety, and reinforce the importance of the deployment of connected vehicle technologies for V2V and V2I communication in the state of Georgia.
