Abstract

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications are supported by systems relying on Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC). This paper presents the implementation steps for a vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication system intended to increase driver awareness of the surroundings in an emergency situation. Particularly, the system broadcasts basic safety warning messages between an emergency vehicle and other vehicles in the vicinity. The field experiment on communication performance showed that the connection could be established within a range of 20 m. Furthermore, the range could be increased by adding a third communication device and using it to resend the message.
