Sammanfattning
This report deals with the topic of vehicle communication which includes communication between vehicles and other entities such as infrastructure. The purpose of the
report is to modulate a vehicle environment where communication between vehicles
and infrastructure can be tested. With studies from both literature and experiments,
this report aims to answer the question of how safety, efficiency and environmental
impact can be improved with the help of vehicle communication. With the aid of
existing hardware and proprietary software, tests have been developed to test vehicle
communication. Four applications have been developed for the project, one for the
integrated system in the vehicles, one system for the vehicle computers, one system
for the infrastructure and finally a debugging software. These systems have made
it possible to answer the research questions. The results of the tests show that in
the modulated environment it is possible to eliminate collisions from occurring. The
tests also show how waiting time and throughput transpires at the intersection based
on the application of different algorithms. With a queue algorithm it is possible to
get a better flow at the intersection than it does with an algorithm that mimics
a traffic light. Conclusions that can be drawn from the project are that vehicle
communication can improve road safety and efficiency. Vehicle communication can
be implemented in infrastructure so that a significant reduction in accidents occurs.
Implementations can also save the environment and be implemented in an ethical
way.
