Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Communication Group The Ohio State University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering 2015 Neil Avenue Columbus, OH 43210-1272
About V2V Consortium: V2V Consortium is composed of the Ohio State University (OSU) and industrial partners aiming to develop V2V communication solutions and tools for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The V2V consortium is housed at the Center of Automative Research at OSU. Every year, a number of topics to be investigated is selected by members of the consortium.

About V2V Communication System:

The evolution and general availability of inexpensive WLAN equipment and worldwide progress towards the acceptance of a DSRC standard fuelled the design and implementation efforts for Inter-vehicle Communication (IVC) systems in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. By exchanging necessary information such as position, velocity, and acceleration, warning systems in vehicles can compute the possibility of a collision and warn drivers. This project is a multi-year study dedicated to investigate protocol, radio unit performance and viability of an Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Communication Systems through a combination of lab simulations and field tests. The simulator architecture of the V2V Communication System developed at OSU is capable of evaluating different warning systems and communication protocols. In this simulator, the network layer, the physical layer, the driver behavior, and the vehicle traffic are modeled and simulated in detail.
