An Performance Measurements of Inter-vehicle Communication System over Wireless WANs

This paper presents performance measurements of implemented inter-vehicle communication system over various wireless WAN interfaces such as WCDMA, HSDPA and WiBro networks respectively. To show the applicability of inter-vehicle communication, a simplified V2I2V-based vehicle communication system is implemented to evaluate major performance metrics by road test. In addition, results of road test for traffic information service are investigated in view of RTT, latency and server processing time. The experimental result indicates that V2I2V-based vehicle communication system sufficiently can provide time-tolerant traffic information to moving vehicles.
