Springer Wireless Vehicular Networks for Car Collision Avoidance

Product Description This book focuses on the development of the ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) in order to minimize vehicular accidents. It analyzes the causes of vehicular accidents and proposes countermeasures based on wireless vehicular network protocols. From the Back Cover Wireless Vehicular Networks for Car Collision Avoidance focuses on the development of the ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) in order to minimize vehicular accidents. The book presents and analyses a range of concrete accident scenarios while examining the causes of vehicular collision and proposing countermeasures based on wireless vehicular networks. The book also describes the vehicular network standards and quality of service mechanisms focusing on improving critical dissemination of safety information. With recommendations on techniques and protocols to consider when improving road safety policies in order to minimize crashes and collision risks.
