Motivation. At current traffic levels, traffic telematics is an essential prerequisite for better
traffic control and enhanced safety. Conventional cellular communication systems are not
powerful enough for establishing real-time traffic information systems. New cooperative
communication systems allow overcoming this bottleneck for traffic jams and high cruising
speeds.
Research Goals. Relevant properties of vehicle-to-vehicle communication channels will be
measured, analyzed, and modeled mathematically. Cooperative signaling schemes and respective receiver algorithms will be designed, implemented, and tested.
Socio-Economic Perspective. Traffic control systems based on cooperative communications
have the potential to significantly improve traffic flow, and thus will minimize health hazards
by reducing the number of accidents and harmful emissions.
