Experimental evaluation of cooperative active safety applications based on V2V communications

Cooperative vehicular systems are expected to improve traffic safety and efficiency through the real-time exchange of information between vehicles and infrastructure nodes. To this aim, cooperative active safety applications are being designed to extend, in space and time, the drivers' awareness of the surrounding environment in order to be able to detect potential road dangers with sufficient time for the driver to react. The strict requirements of cooperative vehicular applications and the challenging vehicular environment require that cooperative active safety applications are extensively tested under real-world conditions. In this context, this paper presents the experimental evaluation of different vehicle-to-vehicle cooperative active safety applications under real world and challenging conditions where cooperative systems need to prove their real effectiveness.
