Wireless Vehicular Networks for Car Collision Avoidance

This book focuses on the development of the ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) in order to minimize vehicular accidents. It analyzes the causes of vehicular accidents and proposes countermeasures based on wireless vehicular network protocols.

Presents the vehicular wireless technology required in order to interconnect vehicles to an intelligent cooperative communicating infrastructure

Demonstrates how wireless technology in cars can avoid vehicular accidents by providing active roadway safety

Covers concrete accident scenarios and provides countermeasures based on wireless networks
