Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Communications for Safety
V2V Communications for Safety is the wireless exchange of data among vehicles traveling in the same vicinity which offers significant safety improvements. The vision for V2V research is that each vehicle on the roadway, including automobiles, trucks, transit vehicles and motorcycles, will be able to communicate with other vehicles, and that this rich set of data and communications will support a new generation of active safety applications and systems.
