AbstractWe investigate four communication schemes for Cooperative Active Safety System (CASS) and compare their performance with application level reliability metrics. The four schemes are periodic communication, periodic communication with model, variable communication, and variable communication with repetition. CASS uses information communicated from neighboring vehicles via wireless network in order to actively evaluate driving situations and provide warnings or other forms of assistance to drivers. In CASS, we assume that vehicles are equipped with a GPS receiver, a Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) transceiver, and in-vehicle sensors. The messages exchanged between vehicles convey position, speed, heading, and other vehicle kinematics. This information is broadcast to all neighbors within a specified communication range. Existing literature surmises that in order for CASS to be effective, it may need a vehicle to broadcast messages periodically as often as every 100ms. In this paper, we introduce the concept of running a kinematic model in-between message transmissions as a means of reducing the communication rate. We use traffic and network simulators to compare the performance of the four schemes. Our performance measure metrics include communication losses as well as average position errors.
