V2X Communication for Message Transmission and Warning Detection

Abstract

Currently, the way that smart cars operate is that they have sensors all around the vehicle to identify and learn about adjacent objects. However, the precision of these sensors frequently has a relatively short range. Reliable long-distance data collection is becoming increasingly important as autonomous driving systems gain in popularity. The suggested remedy for this problem is a gadget that would be mounted on every moving vehicle. This gadget would transmit data about the car (size, speed, acceleration, position, heading, etc.) and receive data about nearby cars with comparable equipment. This eliminates the need for intelligent vehicles to guess what other vehicles are doing around them. Vehicles can instead get this information directly from other vehicles on the road and spend more resources monitoring/tracking non-vehicular objects and feed their information directly to an intelligent system for further complex decision making. This report mainly consists of collecting data for M2M communication and analyzing data for V2V based protocols; establishing simple V2V communication with software tool and sample data; code for V2V communication using CCA with the help of AoDV; design and simulation of hardware architecture in its application. The simulation is performed on an open-source software which is created on its latest release. The test cases run is in a simulated environment of nodal communication representing clusters of vehicles on the radar interacting with each other. These nodes have reactive protocols such as Co- operative Collision Avoidance (CCA) and Ad-Hoc On Demand Distance Vectoring (AoDV). These aim at providing early warning and message routing using unicast and multicast. The results presented in this report show that the through-put, network-life, energy consumed and distance between the nodes are crucial factors that help route message passing between nodes in a given Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The results obtained from the project discuss WSN communication using AoDV and CCA, along with this the hardware application is built on the idea to transfer vehicle information such as acceleration and displacement using the ESP-32 control module to establish communication that validates the message transmission between these modules in offline mode.
