Improving Urban Road Safety With V2V Communication

Abstract

This study evaluates V2V communication's impact on urban road safety through FCW and IMA applications. Using DSRC (5.9 GHz band, IEEE 802.11p), vehicles exchange SAE J2735 Basic Safety Messages (position, speed, acceleration) with <100ms latency. Simulations in MATLAB/Simulink and CARLA demonstrate collision prevention via proactive braking (60m FCW threshold) and intersection coordination. Results show V2V systems enhance reaction times beyond human capability, reducing accident risks in scenarios like sudden stops and crossing conflicts. The technology's low-latency communication enables real-time hazard anticipation, addressing limitations of human response. Implementation challenges include signal reliability in dense traffic, suggesting potential 5G-V2X integration. Findings support DSRC-based V2V as a foundational technology for future smart transportation systems
