Urban vehicle-to-infrastructure wireless communications range evaluation

We consider the problem of information propagation for traffic management applications of Intelligent Transportation Systems in urban areas. In this paper is described a system for measurement of communication range of vehicular wireless communications, method for processing and interpreting the measured data and the initial results. The measurement system is designed to provide an estimate on radio propagation and coverage in vehicular applications in urban areas and the focus is on evaluation of the communication coverage for IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15.4 standards based wireless communication systems. The data collected with the described test system are made available online at http://project-bay.eu/v2x-dataset.
