Modeling of V2V Communications for C-ITS Safety Applications: A CPS Perspective

Abstract

Tight coupling between the performance of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications and the performance of cooperative intelligent transportation system (C-ITS) safety applications is addressed. A cyber-physical system analytical framework is developed which links the characteristics of V2V communications (such as packet loss probability and packet transmission delay) with the physical mobility characteristics of the vehicular system (such as safe intervehicular distance). The study is applied to the Day 1 C-ITS application, emergency electronic brake lights, enabled by the European Telecommunication Standard Institute ITS-G5 and IEEE 802.11p standards.
