3220 Dynamic Transmitting Power Adjustment in Cooperative Vehicular Safety Applications

Recorded Presentations from the meeting are now available. A folder icon represents that recordings are available for at least one presentation in the session.

Purchasing Recording Access: ITS America is now offering the option to purchase whole meeting or track access to the recordings if you were not a full registered attendee of the meeting. You may Purchase Full Meeting Access or you will have the option to purchase just individual track access. If you want to purchase multiple tracks, you will need to browse to a recording in each track to purchase that individual track. Full registered meeting attendees still have free access using their registration credentials. Please email papers@itsa.org if you need your registration credentials sent to you.

Description of Paper:

Cooperative vehicular safety application is a critical ITS service in traffic management. Each OBU must periodically broadcast its current status to its neighboring vehicles. Because of lacking the transmitting power adjustment, each OBU always use the maximum transmitting power. From our experiments, at heavy traffic flow, the higher transmitting power causes the wireless channel contentions and packet collisions more serious. In this paper, we identify out these problems and propose the dynamic transmitting power architecture to soften these situations based on the car’s speed, position, and vehicle density. Besides, we also present three procedures, which are safety broadcast procedure, event-driven warning procedure, and hazard detecting procedure, not only to reduce the traffic accidents but also to increase the delivery rate of safety packet disseminating. Finally we verify our results by simulations and make conclusions.
