Summary: 
The performance of the vehicular communication links used for Intelligent Transport Systems is investigated. Intervehicle communication (IVC) and combined vehicular communication implemented by IVC and additional communication media are studied and their performance is explicitly described. Through numerical studies, it is shown that performance varies according to parameter values such as the mean space headway, the speed of the vehicles, and the penetration ratio of the IVC device. To achieve a given level of performance, I propose (i) a design of the information delivery delay of additional communication media and (ii) a method determining the appropriate delay.
