Abstract:
Safety driving support is one of the most attractive applications of an inter-vehicle communications system. Real-time and reliable packet exchange among vehicles is a key to offering timely warnings to drivers in order to avoid fatal accidents. In this paper, we introduce the multi-carrier multi-code spread ALOHA (MM-SA) system, an inter-vehicle communications system developed for satisfying challenging requirements on supporting safety driving. MM-SA is based on code division multiple access (CDMA) technology, and has inherent robustness to the increase of node density as well as the hidden terminal problem. This paper presents an overview of MM-SA system including protocol design and prototyping as well as graphical user interface (GUI) tool, which are all developed for avoiding intersection collisions.
