Testing Anti-collision System and V2V's technology's Tried in 6 U.S. Cities

TECHNOLOGY communication between the vehicle (Vehicle-to-vehicle/V2V) is not new in the United States at this time. Most of the V2V system is served to warn drivers of potential danger from other vehicles.


This system performs its function through the exchange of information through the transmitter and receiver system on the vehicle data that can be mutually connected to each other. Each vehicle with this system will transmit data, such as speed and location to the other vehicles around him and sign on the road markings are equipped sensors.

With this technology, drivers will more quickly know the existence of another vehicle that was stopped in an area where the position is very difficult if not impossible visible. Motorists also can immediately find out the position when some other vehicle entering an intersection the same simultaneously.

This technology is expected to eventually be combined with autonomous technology (vehicles that can drive myself) to eradicate or at least reduce the accident rate.

Currently Depertement of Transportation (DOT) in the United States took steps in the field of V2V, by holding a trial carried out in real traffic conditions that involve a number of brands and models of cars.

V2V DOT project relies on short-range communication technology (Dedicated Short-Range Communications / DSRC). The cars listed on V2V program will be equipped with DSRC devices that can communicate with DSRC on other vehicles within range of 1000 yards (914.4 meters).

This technology can effectively reduce 82% of cases with the condition of the driver survived the accident and prevent tens of thousands of cases of vehicle collisions that occur each year.

This pilot project will be held in six cities in the United States such as: Blacksburg (Virginia), Brooklyn (Michigan), Minneapolis (Minnesota), Orlando (Florida) and San
Francisco (California).

The results of this experiment will culminate in a report or recommendation submitted to the traffic safety agency U.S. highway, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2013.
