Research/Project Description

Investigation of Communications Considerations in the Simulation of VII-Enabled Applications: - Develop and evaluate cooperative control strategies, with a focus on cooperative control strategies for route guidance and signal timing - A crucial component of this analysis is the underlying communications architecture that will support these cooperative control systems. The wireless network is a hybrid ad hoc network, with combinations of vehicle to roadside and vehicle to vehicle networking. The ultimate success of the cooperative control systems rests on the ability of this complex wireless network to deliver the needed data with low latency.
