Realistic 5.9 GHz DSRC Vehicle-to-Vehicle Wireless Communication Protocols for Cooperative Collision Warning in Underground Mining

Industrial vehicle automation is a core component of the building Industry 4.0. The uses of self-driving vehicles, inspection robots, and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) communications in the mining industry are expected to open significant opportunities for collecting and exchanging data, localization, collision warning, and up-to-date traffic to enhance both the safety of workers and increase the productivity. In this paper, we present a review of the large-scale fading channel at 5.9 GHz in confined areas. Then, the requirements for DSRC receiver performance for VANET applications in an underground mine is calculated. This paper also reports the overall performance evaluation of three existing routing protocols, namely, emergency message dissemination for vehicular environments (EMDV), enhanced multi-hop vehicular broadcast (MHVB), and efficient directional broadcast (EDB) for active safety applications. Finally, a comparative study of these three routing protocols for cooperative collision warning in underground mining galleries was evaluated.
