Abstract
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) technology can be implemented in many different ways in terms of communication protocols. Utilizing Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) in the implementation of V2V, or even Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), may prove to be extremely effective in solving issues related to transit safety as well as traffic flow. Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV), and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) are some examples of V2V safety applications whereas Platoonig may be considered to focus on improving traffic flow and fuel efficiency. Vehicles can be equipped with inexpensive embedded devices known as on-board units (OBUs) which offers the capability of data exchange. Such vehicles are called Connected Vehicles (CVs). CVs are able to send and receive Basic Safety Messages (BSMs) in order to inform surrounding vehicles or objects about its velocity, position, model, turn-signal, and many other aspects with regards to itself (the Host Vehicle (HV)). With low power consumption, relatively simple and inexpensive installation, OBUs are able to overcome constraints posed by vehicles relying solely on Ego-Vehicle capabilities such ascameras, LiDAR and Radar. This work proposes Intersection Movement Assist (IMA) and Lane Change Assist (LCA) V2V & V2I safety applications. We propose different strategies to implement a reliable BSM exchange upon encountering physical obstruction. We also propose a novel traffic jam formation avoidance (Rear Traffic Jam Formation (RTJF)) technique. We validate the proposed applications with CARLA-Connect, a connected and autonomous vehicle simulator. The warning system and negotiation algorithms in question will serve as the basis for several other V2X applications.
