Abstract
Vehicle crashes on the roads and highways cost loss of lives and damages to properties. According to several published statistics, almost a quarter of the crashes happen during severe weather conditions. In this project, we introduce the concept of cooperative driving techniques through Connected Vehicles (CV) for future driver assistance to minimize crashes. This concept intends to minimize accidents, traffic congestions, and consequently, the environmental costs of road traffic. Connected vehicles safety applications can increase situational awareness and significantly improve crash avoidance and crash mitigation systems through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) data transmission. This project will first look at the feasibility of this Connected Vehicle technology in the context of the UAE and the needed adaptations, and will then seek a technical contribution consisting of an effective implementation of a robust communication protocol between vehicles to minimize crashes
