Wireless Vehicular Communication: C-ITS Field Measurements Using ITS-G5

The vehicular industry is going through an evolutionary phase of rapid scientific and technical development. It provides assistance for C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) that connects vehicles and roadside infrastructure i.e., Road Weather stations (RWS) and pedestrian. This is to offer an efficient and safe road transport system. Globally, the incorporation of ITS using DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communications) standard and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) standard known as ITS-G5. ITS-G5 offer diverse feature of location-based services that were missing previously in cooperative vehicles. In this paper, we have presented the deployment of cooperative vehicle scenarios that aims to prevent road accidents and avoid casualties. It has been done by delivering time-critical road safety services to vehicles using ITS-G5. The deployment of cooperative vehicle scenarios uses different instruments for vehicles (i.e., Radars, LIDAR’s, friction sensors, weather sensors etc.): These different sensors and devices permits numerous advanced road services including snow/windstorms, heavy rain or road slippery identification. In this paper, we have identified the packet loss, vehicle locations, network latency and vehicles distance in dangerous situations i.e., emergency brake light, slow vehicle and emergency vehicle approaching. The C-ITS scenarios will support the wide-scale implementation and usage of advanced road weather safety and maintenance services with enhanced ITS-G5 networking capabilities.
