ABSTRACT

The current proposed standards for the vehicular to vehicular (V2V) are Distance Short Range Communication (DSRC) and IEEE 1960. These standards are widely adopted in Europe and the USA. It is likely to be a part of Indian Intelligent Transport System (ITS) policy too. In India, it is currently implemented in few cities for the electronic toll collection (ETC) but not for the ITS. The DSRC standard has six user channels and one control channel to provide communication between the vehicles. 

Description
The current proposed standards for the vehicular to vehicular (V2V) are Distance Short Range Communication (DSRC) and IEEE 1960. These standards are widely adopted in Europe and the USA. It is likely to be a part of Indian Intelligent Transport System (ITS) policy too. In India, it is currently implemented in few cities for the electronic toll collection (ETC) but not for the ITS. The DSRC standard has six user channels and one control channel to provide communication between the vehicles. India has a different type of landscape and vehicular traffic (heavily populated with two and four-wheeler) in urban areas. In the Indian context, the DSRC standard is insufficient to provide the wireless resources to establish communication between the vehicles and roadside infrastructure. Based on such issues, the project will be going to address the different issues using Cyber-Physical System, like feasibility of DSRC standards for V2V Communications in urban areas, low/high mobility constraints, Driver’s behaviour and road condition alerts etc.
