VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE CONGESTION MONITORING USING AD HOC CONTROL

摘要

A vehicle-to-vehicle communication unit includes a vehicle communication transceiver that transmits and receives messages to and from other vehicles. The messages include at least one safety message from another vehicle that indicates that the other vehicle has decreased its velocity. The vehicle-vehicle communication unit also includes a processor that based on the safety message generates a message for other vehicles indicating that the vehicle-to-vehicle communication unit has designated itself as an ad hoc host for determining information about a congested area on a roadway.
